Drawn from interviews with more than eight hundred veterans, a combat history of the Pacific War recreates the most crucial battles, from raids on remote Japanese outposts to the desperate fighting on Guadalcanal and in Burma.

Patrick K. O'Donnell is the author of Beyond Valor: World War II's Ranger and Airborne Veterans Reveal the Heart of Combat, and the creator of The Drop Zone (www.thedropzone.org), the first virtual community for World War II veterans and the interested public dedicated to collecting and sharing the stories of the war. The site has won praise from newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, which said, "The Drop Zone presents the remarkable and often terrifying war stories of U.S. Army Airborne and Ranger troops. Browse through a few of these tales and you will probably gain new respect for the older men in the Veterans Day parade."
