Campaigns in the Pacific chronicles the epic struggle of America and her allies
against Imperial Japan: fighting vast air, land and sea battles across an ocean
covering two-thirds of the world's surface. Waged against the background of the
war in Europe, the Pacific campaign made WW II a truly global conflict.
This DVD set begins with the battle for the Marshall Islands, midpoint in the
Pacific Campaign, to the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
which ultimately led to the final surrender of Imperial Japan on the USS
Missouri in 1945.
With rare footage from the National Archives in Washington D.C.,
Campaigns in the Pacific lets you experience the sights, sounds and drama of this brutal war.
