Description

Covering all Pacific islands involved in World War II military operations, this book is a detailed, single source of information on virtually every geo-military aspect of the Pacific Theater. Arranged regionally and, to the extent possible, chronologically according to when islands entered the war, entries provide complete background information. Along with island names, nicknames, Allied code names, location, and wartime time zones, such topics as the island's physical characteristics, weather, health hazards, historical background, native population, natural resources, and military value are included. 108 maps provide specific information.
