“A fresh and compelling account of the true<br />
turning point of the Pacific War.” —Evan Thomas<br />
Though historians typically consider the Battle of Midway to be the point<br />
when Allied forces gained advantage over the Japanese in the Pacific<br />
Theater, John Prados offers a compelling reassessment of how, and<br />
where, that turning point happened. With a combination of battle action<br />
and intelligence reports from both sides, Prados sheds new light on the<br />
decisive battles for the Solomon Islands.<br />
“Authoritative…Islands of Destiny serves as a powerful reminder of the<br />
geography, the strategy, and the ferocity of the Solomons campaign.”<br />
—The Wall Street Journal<br />
“With his storytelling’s rich depths and surprising perspectives,<br />
Islands of Destiny is essential reading for anyone interested<br />
in the Pacific War.” —World War II magazine<br />
