1. Eagle Against The Sun
The American War with Japan
A sweeping operational history of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific War that traces the strategic, technological, and human dimensions of the naval campaign against Japan from 1941 to 1945, examining how American industrial strength, carrier warfare, logistics, intelligence, leadership decisions, and evolving tactics combined to overcome early setbacks, win decisive battles such as Midway and the Philippine Sea, and carry the island‑hopping campaign toward Japan while assessing costs, controversies, and the navy’s central role in shaping the Pacific outcome.
