Pacific Legacy: Image and Memory from World War II in the Pacific

The classic photo book about the battlegrounds of the Pacific Theater then and nowâ€•updated with new information about the preservation and accessibility of these historic sites
Â
Pacific Legacy offers an unprecedented record of the relics of World War II that have survived on the islands of the Pacific: American landing craft rusting on the reefs where they were stopped by enemy fire; shell-pocked Japanese fortifications; fallen aircraft overgrown by jungle; packed-coral landing strips still as good as new. These evocative color images are paired with archival photographs that show the same tropical battlegrounds as they appeared in wartime.
Â
The text covers the entire war in the Pacific, from the attack on Pearl Harbor to Japanâ€™s surrender in Tokyo Bay. The principal battles are recounted hour-by-hour, drawing heavily on firsthand accounts. This vivid narrative helps the reader visualize what it was really like to be at war in the Pacific, doggedly island-hopping to victory.
