Paperback. Condition: Very Good. By sunset at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, over 90% all over America resolved going into Tokyo and giving them payback for their ambushed bombing. People were barely 30 years from Wild West days, and a lot of cowboy was still in American men, especially servicemen and those enduring the Great Depression. The biggest misconception Americans had was the Pacific is over twice as big as the Atlantic, and fighting the Japanese military was not going to be as crossing the English Channel to combat Germans.How was the American military going to get into Tokyo with the fast expanding Japanese conquests in the Pacific? Strategists and planners looked for any opportunity to gain a possible link for them to envision some paths to force unconditional surrender on a nation that does not believe in surrender, nor anything unconditional.In mid-1944 the American military had destroyed outlying Japanese forces and pushed them back to near their Home Islands by island-hopping and engaging the enemy for specifically needed gains. Three endeavors began materializing Japan's defeat, or in combination with one another. This book is about those three strategic missions and which one would throw the knockout punch at Japan.Readers are provided the who, what, when, where, how, and why the American and Japanese military and their governments committed on what they did to end WW II with a victory.

This book is written for high schoolers to military historians and enthusiasts, especially those being homeschooled. Know the WW II history before unknowingly having to repeat it.…

Condition: Good. One of the most remarkable but surprisingly little known stories of the post-Civil War era is the unforgettable account of how a famous Confederate general forged a defiant new life out of crushing defeat and finally achieved forgiveness and respect in his own reunited land.General Jo Shelby, a daring and ruthless cavalry commander renowned and notorious for his slashing forays behind Union lines, declared after Appomattox that he would never surrender. With three hundred men, some from his fighting Iron Brigade regiment, others adventurers, fortune hunters, and deserters, he headed for Mexico.In vivid detail, General Jo Shelby's March describes the dusty and dangerous 1,200-mile trek that this last holdout of the Confederacy made through a lawless Texas swarming with desperadoes and on into a Mexico teeming with Juarez's rebels and marauding Apaches. After near fratricide among his fraying band of brothers, Shelby arrived to present a quixotic proposal to Emperor Maximilian: he and his fellow Americans would take over the Mexican army and, after being reinforced by forty thousand more Confederate soldiers, the government itself. Though a dramatic, doomed, and brave endeavor, Shelby's actions changed both him and American history forever.Historian Anthony Arthur then recounts the astonishing end of Shelby's career: his return to the United States and his renouncing of slavery, his nomination by President Grover Cleveland to become U.S. marshal for western Missouri, and his eventual fame as a model of nineteenth-century progressivism.…
