Great Battles: WWII in The Pacific by Joe Giorello
Requirements: ePUB Reader, Size: 1 Mb
Overview: This is the third book in the Great Battles Series that takes young readers directly to history's most significant fights.

Rather than dry lists of dates and events, Great Battles puts young readers "in the fight," showing them which weapons, strategies, and military leaders determined victory, or defeat. They will read specific details about war--from boots and bayonets to bullets and bombs-- seeing history with fresh eyes and a renewed curiosity. Without realizing it, they will also learn vast amounts of geography and world history.

Great Battles Volume III covers the Second World War in the Pacific. This captivating book opens with the Flying Tigers, showing readers that covertly America was fighting Japan even before Pearl Harbor was bombed. From there, in chronological order and with telling details, readers will follow the valiant fight through the Pacific, from that surprise bombing at Pearl Harbor to the "island hopping" strategy to eventual Victory Over Japan.

Why is the battle of Wake Island known as "The Alamo of the Pacific"? How did the American Navy figure out that planes could take off from ships? Just what sacrifices were required of the young men, not much older than the readers themselves, who landed on jungle islands such as Guadalcanal, Saipan, and Iwo Jima? After hearing about the "blood and guts" bravery of the American Marines, readers will never forget how the Allies defeated Imperial Japan.
