WWII

Pacific: MacArthur / Midway / Iwo Jima Battle of Iwo Jima

MacArthur’s Papa New Guinea Offensive

As the U.S. pressed toward victory in 1945, one of their final Pacific campaigns came at Iwo Jima in February and March – an island they captured, despite featuring some of the theater’s fiercest combat.

1942-1943

Diamond. The Japanese seizure of Rabaul on New Britain in January 1942 directly threatened Northern Australia and, as a result, General Douglas MacArthur took command of the Southwest Pacific Area. The Allied offensive opened on November 16, 1942, with Australian infantrymen and light tanks alongside the U.S. 32nd Infantry Division, and overcoming the inhospitable terrain proved the toughest of challenges. 240 pages, 250 B&W photos, 7½"x 9½", softcover.
