About this product
Product Information
On the first Sunday in December 1941, an armada of Japanese warplanes appeared suddenly over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and devastated the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Six months later, in a sea fight north of the tiny atoll of Midway, four Japanese aircraft carriers were sent into the abyss, a blow that destroyed the offensive power of their fleet. Pacific Crucible--through a dramatic narrative relying predominantly on primary sources and eyewitness accounts of heroism and sacrifice from both navies--tells the epic tale of these first searing months of the Pacific war, when the U.S. Navy shook off the worst defeat in American military history to seize the strategic initiative.

Toll's book does a good job of capturing strategy, tactics, weaponry and, especially, people, on the Japanese side as well as the American...You won't set [Pacific Crucible] aside., As the author amply shows, [the Klan's] fearful, angry spirit lives on. A revealing, well-researched--and, unfortunately, contemporarily relevant--investigation of the KKK's wide support in the 1920s., Excellent. The research is thorough, the writing clear, and the narrative flow exemplary...It is difficult to think of a recent book on this subject that is of such consistently outstanding value., The research is thorough, the writing clear, and the narrative flow exemplary...it is difficult to think of a recent book on this subject that is of such consistently outstanding value., Revealing and poignant, Toll's latest deftly navigates the rough waters of the Pacific struggle with flying colors., An entertaining, impressively researched chronicle of the tense period between the bombing of Pearl Harbor and American victory at the battle of Midway., Toll's storytelling abilities make this an approachable and compelling read in a genre typically reserved for military historians. . . . Revealing and poignant, Toll's latest deftly navigates the rough waters of the Pacific struggle with flying colors., Well documented--albeit from previously published materials--and well written. Experienced World War II history buffs may bypass if they feel no need to read another retelling of this phase of the Pacific War, but nonspecialists and general readers will want to consider it.
