Compiled, edited, and captioned by Bob Duncan (County Historian and Director of the Maury County Archives, Columbia, Tennessee), " Historic Photos of World War II: Volume 2--Pearl Harbor to Japan" is a coffee-table book style compendium of full-page black-and-white historic photos of battle scenes from the Pacific Theatre. Visually documenting one of the epic saga's of the twentieth century, this photos were drawn from both public archives and private collections. Collectively they depict the struggle, sacrifice, and horrors of war in the Pacific. They also document the courage, resolve, and determination of the American soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen who fought a determined, aggressive, and relentless enemy to liberate the captive peoples of the Pacific nations free from their Japanese overlords. "Historic Photos of World War II: Volume 2" is a welcome and highly recommended addition to personal, academic, and community library Military History, Photography, and 20th Century History reference collections. Also very highly recommended is Bob Duncan's earlier work, "Historic Photos of World War II: Volume 1--North Africa to Germany" (Turner Publishing, 2007).
