A Path to War

Description

Overview: A Path to War traces the causes and underlying reasons for the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. The problems actually started in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles. The book details the causes and then traces the progression of the actual war in the Pacific from beginning to end. It covers the allied actions and explains the vast theater encomapssed by these actions. It explains the activities in Asia from French- Indo China through Burma and eventually into India. Americans do not realize the vast distances, the insurmountable obstacles and the lack of knowledge America had about the geology, weather and physiology of the islands of the Pacific. The diseases alone killed and handicapped military actions more than the enemy. Read the true and real facts about a lesser known part of WWII which was ignored or downplayed by the actions of the European theater.
