Author Description

In 1991, fifty years after the outbreak of war in the Pacific, leading World War II scholars met at the University of New Orleans' Eisenhower Center to confer on the war in that theater. This volume, based on the proceedings of that conference, reflects the great complexity and scope of the conflict - addressing topics that range from high-command and grand-strategy concerns to logistics, prisoners of war, and the nature of the "racial" war in the Pacific.
