Book Synopsis
A frequent writer of World War II histories, McAulay describes how US Army bombing attacks in August 1943 and March and April 1944 effectively destroyed the Japanese offensive air capability and opened the way for the US advance on the Philippines. He explains that the conservatively minded Japanese command was unable to prosecute modern war against an enemy that was better equipped, intellectually unrestrained, and using inter-service and international cooperation.
