About the book

In the early 1940s, New Guinea was a battleground far more deadly than the most fanatical of enemy troops. With Japan determined to seize the island, Allied Commander-in-Chief General Douglas MacArthur committed 340,000 Americans, as well as tens of thousands of Australian, Dutch, and New Guinea troops, to retake New Guinea at all costs. What followed was a four-year campaign involving some of the most horrific warfare in history. Here is the full story of that battle, written by an acclaimed voice in military history.
