A Real Gem

This book is very entertaining. I found it for 4 bucks at a discount bookstore in an outlet mall somewhere. And when I first picked it up, it looked very boring. I thought, "who would want to read a 600 page glossary of terms on World War II in the Pacific?" But I thought for 4 bucks, who cares. It turned out to be a treasure trove of info that a World War II geek like myself just relishes. It's easy to read and has some humor in it too. Highly recommended.

Introduction of the Pacific War!

This is an excellent book for beginners especially identifications of war machines on both the Allies and the Japanese in the Pacific war. For them who are interested on an advanced learner, I don't recommend to read this as the history facts are brief not realistic but easy to understand especially on important battles and ship classes used by both navy! It may not be a lot of reading but i find it interesting due to Dunnigan's organized writing. It is brief, simple and easy to understood before reading an advance level!

A User's Manual to World War II in the Pacific

The authors originally intended to write a user's manual to a computer program, but the project got so big, that they ended up writing a book. This approach actually works very well here. While Victory at Sea contains few new revelations, it is well organized and interesting to read. If you're looking for an alternative to dry descriptions of World War II in the Pacific, look no farther.

WONDERFUL INSIGHT INTO THE PACIFIC SEA BATTLES

ENJOYED THE BOOK VERY MUCH. GOOD MATERIAL AND WELL EXPLAINED AND DOCUMENTED

Excellent reference for WWII Navy Pacific Theater

A must have for the serious student of the Naval war in the Pacific who wants details such as the difference between an LSM (Landing Ship Medium) and an LCT (Landing Craft Tank). Is broken down into concise categories ranging from Campaigns to People. Neat chronology of events. Excellent chapter on war production and logistics. Easy read, large type, I love this book.
