Campfire's World War II: Against The Rising Sun focuses on the war 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 tells the history of World War Two in the Pacific theater, told from many perspectives.

  • Mr CID

    Wrong uniform and weapons depicted on Bataan, B 25J instead of early model B 25 in Dolittle Raid and M16 in grave marker on back cover of the book turned me off so much I couldn’t finish the book. The only redeeming factor was good artwork. What a waste!
