· MacArthur’s dramatic and emotional return to the Philippines
· The Big Battles: the Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, the Marianas, Leyte
· The forgotten China-Burma-India Theater
· How Americans cracked the secret Japanese JN-25 code and changed the course of the war War Stories II: Heroism in the Pacific is the essential book for every veteran of the war, every student of military history, and every American who is inspired by the courage and sacrifice of the Greatest Generation in one of its greatest moments.
