John C. McManus's award-winning Fire and Fortitude enthralled readers with an unforgettable and authoritative account of the US Army's evolution during the Pacific War, from the devastation of Pearl Harbor to the bloody battle for Makin Island in 1943. Now, in this second and final volume, he follows the Army as they land on Saipan, Guam, and Okinawa, climaxing with the American return to the Philippines, one of the largest, most complex operations in American history and one that would eventually account for one-third of all American casualties in the Pacific-Asia theater.
Brilliantly researched and written, the narrative moves seamlessly from the highest generals to the lowest foot soldiers and in between, capturing the true essence of this horrible conflict. It is a masterful history by one of our finest historians of World War II.

Story Locale: Pacific Theater of WWII
MARKET POTENTIAL: Follows the tradition of Rick Atkinson's bestselling Liberation Trilogy, about the US Army's fight against Nazi Germany, and Ian W. Toll's bestselling Pacific War Trilogy, about the Navy's crusade against Japan.
UNIQUE: Whereas most Pacific histories focus on the Navy and Marine Corps, these two volumes are the first to tell the full story of the Army's enormous role in the defeat of Japan.
WIDE-RANGING: War is more than combat-McManus explores POWs, logistical challenges, medics and engineers, the role of women in the war effort, and the perspectives of Japanese combatants.
