Island Infernos

In Fire and Fortitude —winner of the Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History—John C. McManus presented a riveting account of the US Army's fledgling fight in the Pacific following Pearl Harbor. Now, in Island Infernos , he explores the Army’s dogged pursuit of Japanese forces, island by island, throughout 1944, a year that would bring America ever closer to victory or defeat. “A feat of prodigious scholarship.” —The Wall Street Journal • “Wonderful.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch • “Outstanding.”—
