How do you defeat an empire that controls half the Pacific Ocean?

One island at a time.This is the final episode of the Pacific War series—the strategic overview that explains why America chose certain islands to invade and bypassed others.

From Guadalcanal to Okinawa, from desperate improvisation to refined amphibious doctrine, this is the story of the strategy that won the Pacific War.

124,000 American casualties across nine major campaigns. 300,000+ Japanese dead. And lessons learned in blood that changed amphibious warfare forever.
