Synopsis

The year is 1944.

The Allies are on the offensive everywhere and the Japanese Empire is shrinking with every passing day of war.

The Hawaiian Islands are back under American control, as well as Johnston Island Japanese base and its vaunted concrete battleships. American forces are racing toward Midway and Wake to land and liberate the strategic islands on the direct route to the Japanese Home Islands.

In the South Seas, the fight is almost over. Rabaul is under siege, and it is only a matter of time before it falls. General Douglas MacArthur is already preparing the landing in the Admiralty Islands, and the Americans are in the last planning stages of Operation Hailstone, the destruction of the Truk Japanese base.

America also had its eyes on the Marshalls, the Marianas, and the Palau’s before it can lunge at the real prize, the Philippines. Japan is busy fortifying the islands to give the best reception possible to their Yankee enemies. Without a fleet to stop them, the Imperial Force can only wait for the Americans to attack.

Things are looking dire in Southeast Asia. The mutual destruction of both Admiral Hata and Admiral Somerville’s fleets creates the condition for a slugging match on the ground, as a stalemate is reached in the Malaya Peninsula.

And finally, in Japan, there are those, like the Emperor and the new Minister of the Navy, Isoroku Yamamoto, who believes the war is lost and that it was perhaps time to contemplate peace with the Allies.

This is the story of the Pacific War.
