So many histories of the War in the Pacific focus on the Allied experience, this title reverses this trend by examining the year of Japanese victory, when the might Japanese naval and ground forces swept all before them both throughout the Pacific and on mainland Asia.
Bill Yenne the author of more than three dozen nonfiction historical works, many of them concerning World War II aviation, and he was a contributor to encyclopedias of both world wars. His previous works on World War II air aces include his 2009 work Aces High, a dual biography of Richard Bong and Tommy McGuire (the top scoring American aces) and the earlier work, Aces: True Stories of Victory & Valor in the Skies of World War II. Yenne also has several published novels to his credit. Yenne is founder of AGS Book Works, and he is a member of the American Aviation Historical Society (AAHS), the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) and the American Book Producers Association (ABPA). He and his work have been featured in such media as Booklislt, Library Journal, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The History Channel and The National Geographic Channel.
From Ted Green (Historical Association review): Yenne looks at the campaign as a coordinated plan from the Japanese point of view. Gives a true feeling of how the Allied disasters unfolded. Excellent opening section. Gives a good introduction to anyone wanting to learn more about the campaign. This is an excellent book for anyone coming fresh to the subject or only knowing part of the story. A welcome addition to any military history library.
