America vs. Japan : the bloody war in the Pacific.

In its drive for domination of East Asia and the Pacific, the Japanese Empire knew that it would ultimately have to defeat the United States of America. With a massive naval armada, thousands of war planes, and the largest army in the Pacific region, Japan felt confident that the attack on Pearl Harbor would crush both America's navy and the will of the Americans to fight. But they were wrong. Japan for a time ruled the high seas and seemed nearly invincible. But within months, the USA began to rebuild its forces, taking the fight to the Japanese. This is the complete story of The bloody war in the Pacific, with hours of archival combat footage, and commentary by combat vets of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy.
