Fortress Rabaul: The Battle for the Southwest Pacific, January 1942-April 1943

For most of World War II, the mention of Japan's island stronghold sent shudders through thousands of Allied airmen. Some called it â€œFortress Rabaul,â€ an apt name for the headquarters of the Imperial Japanese forces in the Southwest Pacific. Author Bruce Gamble chronicles Rabaulâ€™s crucial role in Japanese operations in the Southwest Pacific. Millions of square feet of housing and storage facilities supported a hundred thousand soldiers and naval personnel. Simpson Harbor and the airfields were the focus of hundreds of missions by American air forces.

Â

Winner of the "Gold Medal" (Military Writers Society of America) and "Editor's Choice Award" (Stone & Stone Second WorldÂ War Books), Fortress Rabaul details a critical and, until now, little understood chapter in the history of World War II.
