520    "Pacific Legacy offers an unprecedented record of the 
       relics of World War II that have survived on the islands 
       of the Pacific: American landing craft rusting on the 
       reefs where they were stopped by enemy fire; shell-pocked 
       Japanese fortifications; fallen aircraft overgrown by 
       jungle; packed-coral landing strips still as good as new. 
       These evocative color images are paired with archival 
       photographs that show the same tropical battlegrounds as 
       they appeared in wartime. The text covers the entire war 
       in the Pacific, from the attack on Pearl Harbor to Japan's
       surrender in Tokyo Bay. The principal battles are 
       recounted hour-by-hour, drawing heavily on firsthand 
       accounts. This vivid narrative helps the reader visualize 
       what it was really like to be at war in the Pacific, 
       doggedly island-hopping to victory."--Page 2 of cover.
