Book Review Pacific Crucible: War at Sea in the Pacific, 1941-1942
This is a well-written history by Ian W. Toll of the earliest days of the Second World War in the Pacific as Japan begins its expansion across that sea. Toll provides detailed discussion of the men and efforts on both sides of the war, including the interactions with the US allies in that theatre, Britain, Australia, and others. There is good information about the personal lives of the major players on each side and the politics involved in the US Navy ranks and in the Japanese military. A good read that covers the period from just before the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan through the Battle of Midway. The writing is clear and interesting without too much of the dry detail that can put you to sleep.Read More
