The Conquering Tide: War In The Pacific Islands 1942-1944, the second of Ian W. Toll’s planned trilogy on the Pacific Theater of World War II is just as good as, if not better than, the first book.
Toll’s prose is highly readable and interesting as he examines a key period of the war from both sides. The focus is mostly on the big picture, but for those interested in digging deeper into individual battles and campaigns there are any number of books and other source material listed in the Bibliography.
NOTE: I don’t spend as much time on reviews of traditionally published books as I do for Indie authors.
