n March 2010, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, the power team that produced the mega HBO hit 'Band of Brothers' will be releasing their second blockbuster series about WWII, 'The Pacific.' It will focus on the stories of the men and women who fought in the Pacific Theater of the war. To capitalize on the renewing interest that this series will create, we are revising The Complete Idiot's Guide® to World War II. The revision will focus on expanding the material in the book about the war in the Pacific with such important updates as:
* More details about the strategic battles such as Midway, Coral Sea.
* Detailed discussion about the submarine initiative and its impact on the Japanese economy.
* Details about the Japanese prisoner of war camps.
* The amazing history of the Navajo Code Talkers and their seminal role in the war
This revised edition also includes a new selection of photos drawn from the U.S. military archives on the war in the Pacific as well.
