This book details the astonishing transformation that took place from 1942 to 1943, setting the Allies on a path to final victory against Japan. Review "New York Times best-selling author and noted East Asia expert Peter Harmsen continues his outstanding War in the Far East trilogy with its second installment, Japan Runs Wild, 1942-1943. It is rare in English-language literature to treat the Pacific War as an integrated whole... The reader quickly begins to feel not only the vastness of the Pacific war, but also its complexity and interconnectedness." (Daniel Jackson, author of "Famine, Sword, and Fire") "Brilliantly researched and enhanced by numerous personal anecdotes from participants on both sides, it truly recreates the atmosphere prevailing at the time." (Baird Maritime) "The examination of this period of the war from the Japanese perspective offers some fascinating insights into how their lack of strategic thinking rendered their operational prowess unsuccessful in terminating the war on their terms." (Jerry D. Lenaburg, New York Journal of Books) "Draws on many sources, is comprehensively referenced, and has an extensive 12-page bibliography. Well written, the narrative has a pace to it which maintains the interest helped by reference to personal experiences of participants." (Miniature Wargames) "The text is very readable and the players sharply drawn... Whether you are a casual reader or a Pacific Theater aficionado, this book, like its predecessor makes a perfect addition to your library." (War Diary) "Harmsen's strength is his ability to concisely convey significant amounts of detail and facts... he can relay individual stories and weave them into the larger narrative about a critical time in world history." (Air &amp; Space Power Journal) About the Author Peter Harmsen, a foreign correspondent in East Asia for two decades, has worked for Bloomberg, the Economist Intelligence Unit, and the Financial Times.
