About

Pacific Legacy Synopsis

Pacific Legacy offers an unprecedented record of the relics of World War II that have survived on the islands of the Pacific:

  • American landing craft rusting on the reefs where they were stopped by enemy fire
  • shell-pocked Japanese fortifications
  • fallen aircraft overgrown by jungle
  • packed-coral landing strips still as good as new. These evocative colour images are paired with archival photographs that show the same tropical battlegrounds as they appeared in wartime.The text covers the entire war in the Pacific, from the attack on Pearl Harbour to Japan's surrender in Tokyo Bay. The principal battles are recounted hour-by-hour, drawing heavily on firsthand accounts. This vivid narrative helps the reader visualise what it was really like to be at war in the Pacific, doggedly island-hopping to victory
