In tribute to the gallant leaders of the Pacific war, the editors of this book have prepared a brief summary highlighting their military and naval careers. We were indeed fortunate to have at the helm men of such integrity and brilliance of purpose. They assumed the mighty tasks of battle with courage, foresight and confidence and have so directed our fighting men that their names shall be indelibly imprinted in the history of the United States as symbols of the democratic principle, "that government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the earth." For indeed these great leaders are first of all Americans ... Americans who faced the challenge of World War II and by their efforts surmounted it. We are proud to salute them! This publication is a photographic description of WWII, containing 400 photos from Dec 7, 1941 to V-J Day, Sept. 2, 1945.
