First edition, first printing, 2006. Some scratches on the cover and spine. (The inside pages are in good condition.) This book presents the full picture of the Pacific War, which is somehow not taught in schools, with easy-to-understand illustrations and plenty of episodes. However, this book is not just a simple explanation of the war. It analyzes the background of why the war occurred in the first place, and devotes many pages not only to the actual course of the war, but also to the lives of the people at the time and little-known episodes that occurred during the war (such as the mysterious explosion of a battleship). Of course, the author's specialties, military affairs and weaponry, are also well-covered. The book draws on a wealth of data to illustrate the differences in national power and military strength between Japan and the United States, allowing readers to get a bird's-eye view of the Pacific War from various perspectives.
