About this product

Product Information

A masterly narrative history of the climactic battles of the Second World War, and companion volume to his bestselling `Armageddon', by the pre-eminent military historian Max Hastings. The battle for Japan that ended many months after the battle for Europe involved enormous naval, military and air operations from the borders of India to the most distant regions of China. There is no finer chronicler of these events than the great military historian Max Hastings, whose gripping account explores not just the global strategic objectives of the USA, Japan and Britain but also the first-hand experiences of the airmen, sailors and soldiers of all the countries who participated in the Far East and the war in the Pacific. The big moments in the story are chosen to reflect a wide variety of human experience: the great naval battle of Leyte Gulf; the under-reported war in China; the re-conquest of Burma by the British Army under General Slim; MacArthur's follies in the Philippines; the Marines on Iwo Jima and Okinawa; LeMay's fire-raising Super-fortress assaults on Japan; the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the kamikaze pilots of Japan; the almost unknown Soviet blitzkrieg in Manchuria in the last days of the war, as Stalin hastened to gather the spoils; and the terrible final acts across Japanese-occupied Asia. This is classic, epic history - both in the content and the manner of telling.

  • Comprehensive study of the Japanese War effort.

    Just started this book...as i expected it is a detailed analysis of how the Japanese Culture operated under War conditions. It also shows how the Japanese society was structured along long held beliefs which were overtaken by events of the day. Max Hastings as usual, is thorough and analytical in his illustration of the actions of individual Japanese servicemen in action.

  • A heavy tome that doesn't make for easy reading in bed.

    Weight for weight, pound for pound and in very good condition, good value.

  • Max Hastings - Nemesis Hardback

    Hastings books on WW2 are never less than riveting reading. His writing style is accessible without being verbose. His observations on the shortcomings of the Allied war effort are a recurring theme throughout most of his books and yet his respect for the Fighting men on all sides shines through - and rightly so.
