About the book >.>.> For the first time the British Naval Staff History on the war with Japan has been made freely available. It provides the full official version of World War Two events in the Pacific previously seen only by restricted naval personnel. Nowhere is there a better complete analysis of the Allied campaign against Japan. VOLUME VI covers the d?nouement of the Pacific War – the advance to Japan. After a major defeat for the Japanese in the battle for Leyte Gulf the American attack moved to Iwo Jima and Okinawa. By then the British Pacific Fleet had become involved and the problems the Royal Navy faced in sustaining the fleet over the vast distances of the Pacific are fully explained. Finally Allied power converged on Japan and the country was bombarded into submission at the same time as her major armies in the field were defeated by the Soviet Union in Asia. (OS)
