Specifikacia To the End of the Earth: The US Army and the Downfall of Japan, 1945 McManus John C.
From the liberation of the Philippines to the Japanese surrender, the final volume of John C. McManus's trilogy on the US Army in the Pacific WarThe dawn of 1945 finds a US Army at its peak in the Pacific. Allied victory over Japan is all but assured. The only question is how many more months--or years--of fight does the enemy have left. John C. McManus's magisterial series, described by the Wall Street Journal as being "as vast and splendid as Rick Atkinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Liberation Trilogy," returns with this brilliant final volume. On the island of Luzon, a months-long stand-off between US and Japanese troops finally breaks open, as American soldiers push into Manila, while paratroopers capture nearby Corregidor. The Philippines are soon liberated, and Allied warlords turn their eyes to Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the Japanese home islands themselves.
