“THE CONQUERING TIDE, WAR IN THE PACIFIC, 1942-1944 is the second installment of a projected three-part chronicle of that war following up the critically acclaimed and highly satisfactory PACIFIC CRUCIBLE, WAR AT SEA IN THE PACIFIC, 1941-1942. I've read this first book twice finding it to be superb - history writing at its finest.”
