War In The Pacific 1941-1945 looks at the war against Japan in the Pacific Islands which formed an integral part of eventual Allied victory in World War II. Setting the scene with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the almost simultaneous attack on US bases on Guam and Wake Island, it then goes on to document the battles fought in the jungle islands of Guadalcanal and the Philippines and the seas of the Pacific. This war story is brought to life by the addition of 20 carefully selected facsimile pieces of memorabilia ranging from military orders to propaganda leaflets dropped by the Japanese on US troops to the personal diaries and letters home of both generals, officers and ordinary soldiers.
