“Makes history come dazzlingly alive … Action packed, graphically arresting, thought provoking and dramatically disturbing.” —The School Librarian

Brought to life in evocative, full-color detail, this gripping graphic novel for readers 10+ tells the history of World War Two in the East through the eyes of the servicemen and civilians on both sides of the conflict. From the invasion of Manchuria by Japan in 1937, right through to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we witness the end of the British Empire, the rise and fall of Japan, and destruction the likes of which the world must never know again.

While authoritative texts on World War Two often tend to focus disproportionately on the European theater of war, the Pacific theater was no less dramatic, with its roots stretching back to the early 1930s. This book provides comprehensive historical insight in a highly readable, accessible format, making it the perfect gift for burgeoning history buffs of all ages!
