About this title
John B. Lundstrom offers a detailed analysis of the fundamental strategies employed by Japan and the United States in the South Pacific from January to June 1942, including Japanese equivocation regarding advances in the South Pacific and the vigorous actions of Adm. Ernest J. King to reinforce the area in spite of the presidential decision to concentrate American efforts in Europe to defeat Germany.
Writing in a clear, concise, and readable style, Lundstrom combines strategic insight and careful scholarship with previously untapped source materials to present a book that provides a superb overview of the first six months of the naval war in the South Pacific. First published in 1976, The First South Pacific Campaign is essential reading for a full understanding the Pacific Fleet's strategy before the Battle of Midway.
John B. Lundstrom is the author of several books, including Black Shoe Carrier Admiral, The First Team, and The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign. He is the recipient of the Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Naval Literature, the Hook Contributor's Award, and the Admiral Arthur W. Radford Award by the National Museum of Naval Aviation.
