John Costello's "The Pacific War" has now established itself as the standard one-volume account of World War II in the Pacific. Never before have the separate stories of fighting in China, Malaya, Burma, the East Indies, the Phillipines, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and the Aleutians been so brilliantly woven together to provide a clear account of one of the most massive movements of men and arms in history.

"This is a very nice general treatment of the war in the Pacific. I recommend it for someone wanting a very general intro to the Pacific theater that covers most all of the topic. I do have to criticise the edition, though. There are a couple places where entire lines of text are missing, times when directions are reversed (e.g., it'll say they moved north from X to Y, then you look at the map and see that Y is south of X), sometimes arrows denoting movements black-out relevant place names on maps, etc. The editor sucked."
