Synopsis:
This volume is based on the proceedings of a conference held at the University of New Orleans' Eisenhower Center in 1991 to confer on the war in the Pacific. Several of the selections challenge the "good war" thesis and all show that the war with Japan offers a rich territory for further study. The nine commentaries presented are intended to enter less travelled terrain rather than retread the familiar landscape of strategic and political issues. Michael Schaller examines the importance of Douglas MacArthur's political charisma to his political career; Stephen E. Ambrose and Brian Loring Villa discuss the racism tht was integral to the Pacific war and the decision to drop the A-bomb; Gregory J.W. Urwin's analysis of the Wake Island defenders' ordeal and Kathleen R. Warnes' focus on individual Navy and Army nurses' experiences in the Pacific together reveal the human faces so often lost behind the statistics of war.
