<P> Although most people associate the term D-Day with the Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944, it is military code for the beginning of any offensive operation. In the Pacific theater during World War II there were more than one hundred D-Days. The largest — and last — was the invasion of Okinawa on April 1, 1945, which brought together the biggest invasion fleet ever assembled, far larger than that engaged in the Normandy invasion. <P> <I>D-Days in the Pacific</I> tells the epic story of the campaign waged by American forces to win back the Pacific islands from Japan. Based on eyewitness accounts by the combatants, it covers the entire Pacific struggle from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Pacific war was largely a seaborne offensive fought over immense distances. Many of the amphibious assaults on Japanese-held islands were among the most savagely fought battles in American history: Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, New Guinea, Peleliu, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, Okinawa. <P> Generously illustrated with photographs and maps, <I>D-Days in the Pacific</I> is the finest one-volume account of this titanic struggle.

<p align=”left”> In the closing months of World War II, Americans found themselves facing a new and terrifying weapon: kamikazes — the first men to use airplanes as suicide weapons. </p> <p align=”left”> By the beginning of 1945, American pilots were shooting down Japanese planes more than ten to one. The Japanese had so few metals left that the military had begun using wooden coins and clay pots for hand grenades. For the first time in 800 years, Japan faced imminent invasion. As Germany faltered, the combined strength of every warring nation gathered at Japan’s door. Desperate, Japan turned to its most idealistic young men — the best and brightest college students — and demanded of them the greatest sacrifice. </p> <p align=”left”> On the morning of May 11, 1945, days after the Nazi surrender, the USS <i>Bunker Hill</i> — a magnificent vessel that held thousands of crewmen and the most sophisticated naval technology available — was holding at the Pacific Theater, 70 miles off the coast of Okinawa. </p> <p align=”left”> At precisely 9:58 a.m., Kiyoshi Ogawa radioed in to his base at Kanoya, 350 miles from the Bunker Hill, “I found the enemy vessels.” After eighteen months of training, Kiyoshi tucked a comrade’s poem into his breast pocket and flew his Zero five hours across the Pacific. Now the young Japanese pilot had located his target and was on the verge of fulfilling his destiny. At 10:02.30 a.m., as he hovered above the <i>Bunker Hill</i>, hidden in a mass of clouds, Kiyoshi spoke his last words: “Now, I am nose-diving into the ship.” </p> <p align=”left”> The attack killed 393 Americans and was the worst suicide attack against America until September 11. Juxtaposing Kiyoshi’s story with the stories of untold heroism of the men aboard the <i>Bunker Hill</i>, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy details how American sailors and airmen worked together, risking their own lives to save their fellows and ultimately triumphing in their efforts to save their ship. </p>

<P>In his award-winning book <I>Beyond Valor, </I>Patrick O’Donnell reveals the true nature of the European Theater in World War II, as told by those who survived. Now, with <I>Into the Rising Sun, </I>O’Donnell tells the story of the brutal Pacific War, based on hundreds of interviews spanning a decade.</P><P>The men who fought their way across the Pacific during World War II had to possess something more than just courage. They faced a cruel, fanatical enemy in the Japanese, an enemy willing to use anything for victory, from kamikaze flights to human-guided torpedoes. Over the course of the war, Marines, paratroopers, and rangers spearheaded D-Day–sized beach assaults, encountered cannibalism, suffered friendly-fire incidents, and endured torture as prisoners of war. Though they are truly heroes, they claim no glory for themselves. As one soldier put it, “When somebody gets decorated, it’s because a lot of other men died.” </P><BR><P></P><P>By at last telling their stories, these men present a hard, unvarnished look at the war on the ground, a final gift from aging warriors who have already given so much. Only with these accounts can the true horror of the war in the Pacific be fully known. Together with detailed maps of each battle, <I>Into the Rising Sun </I>offers a complete yet deeply personal account of the war in the Pacific and a ground-level view of some of history’s most brutal combat.</P>

<P> In World War II, the Allies employed unprecedented methods and practiced the most successful military deception ever seen, meticulously feeding misinformation to Axis intelligence to lead Axis commanders into erroneous action. Thaddeus Holt’s elegantly written and comprehensive book is the first to tell the full story behind these operations. Exactly how the Allies engaged in strategic deception has remained secret for decades. Now, with the help of newly declassified material, Holt reveals this secret to the world in a riveting work of historical scholarship. <P> Once the Americans joined the war in 1941, they had much to learn from their British counterparts, who had been honing their deception skills for years. As the war progressed, the British took charge of misinformation efforts in the European theater, while the Americans focused on the Pacific. <I>The Deceivers</I> takes readers from the early British achievements in the Middle East and Europe at the beginning of the war to the massive Allied success of D-Day, American victory in the Pacific theater, and the war’s culmination on the brink of an invasion of Japan. <P> Colonel John Bevan, who managed British deception operations from London, described the three essentials to strategic deception as good plans, double agents, and codebreaking, and <I>The Deceivers</I> covers each of these aspects in minute detail. Holt brings to life the little-known men, British and American, who ran Allied deception, such as Bevan, Dudley Clarke, Peter Fleming, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Newman Smith. He tracks the development of deception techniques and tells the hitherto unknown story of double agent management and other deception through the American FBI and Joint Security Control. <P> Full of fascinating sources and astounding revelations, <I>The Deceivers</I> is an indispensable volume and an unparalleled contribution to World War II literature.
