Format: Softcover ISBN: 0891416161 Condition: Acceptable The cover and many of the pages are wrinkled. Many pages are covered in highlighting and underlining. Contents Description: The Second World War engaged the energies of the American people for almost four years and was fought on a scale barely conceived of by even the most pessimistic prewar observers. Of the many theaters of operations, the Pacific held a unique place in the public mind, for the Japanese personified what most Americans considered to be evil. Japan, by attacking Pearl Harbor, forced the United States reluctantly to become a partner in a global conflict that was already two years old. - from the preface
