In a matter of just months  the soldiers and sailors of the Rising Sun conquered an area even bigger than Hitlers empire at its largest extent. They seemed invincible. Hawaiians and Australians were fearing a future under Hirohito. For half of mankind  fate was hanging in the balance.  Fast forward to the end of 1943  and the tables had been turned entirely. A reinvigorated American-led military machine had kicked into gear  and the Japanese were fighting a defensive battle along a frontline that crossed thousands of miles of land and ocean. Japan Runs Wild  1942-1943 by acclaimed author Peter Harmsen details the astonishing transformation that took place in that period  setting the Allies on a path to final victory against Japan.  The middle installment in the trilogy  Japan Runs Wild  19421943 picks up the story where its predecessor volume Storm Clouds over the Pacific  1931-1941 left off. The common theme of the series is a comprehensive view of World War Two in the Asia Pacific  giving due emphasis to the central Japanese-American struggle  but also encompassing the other nations that were engulfed in the vast showdown: British  Australians  Soviets  Filipinos  Indians and Koreans. Above all  the central importance of China is highlighted in a way that no previous general history of the war against Japan has achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666166603829,"sku":"ByrdShop_1612006256","price":54.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781612006253.jpg?v=1782421178","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/japan-runs-wild-19421943-war-in-the-far-east-9781612006253","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
