The Fleet At Flood Tide by James D. Hornfischer
America at Total War in the Pacific, 1944–1945
A sweeping narrative of the final year of the Pacific War (1944–1945) that follows U.S. naval, Marine, and Army operations from the Marianas through Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, showing how skillful leadership, massive logistics and relentless air-and-sea power forced Japan into a desperate defense. Combining high-level operational analysis with vivid personal stories, it details carrier battles, amphibious assaults, kamikaze attacks and the immense human cost as American forces closed the ring on the Japanese home islands.
