An authoritative history of the harrowing last year of World War II in the Pacific, when the U.S. Navy won the largest naval battle in history; Douglas MacArthur made good on his pledge to return to the Philippines; waves of kamikazes attacked the Allied fleets; and Hiroshima and Nagasaki were vaporized in atomic blasts. Twilight of the Gods reconstructs the Japanese and American home fronts and takes the reader into the halls of power in Washington and Tokyo, where the great questions of strategy and diplomacy were decided. In this final volume of his prize-winning and best-selling Pacific War trilogy, Ian W. Toll's narratives of combat in the air, at sea, and on the beaches are as gripping as ever and he casts a penetrating light on the battles, grand strategic decisions, and naval logistics that enabled the Allied victory in the Pacific.
