James Holland and John McManus review the war in the Pacific 1944 - the year in which the US truly becomes the most powerful nation in the world.

John discusses the duplicitous nature of America's relationship with China and how the differing aims of MacArthur and Stilwell creates so much tension in the Pacific.
