This WWII history sheds light on the extensive use of armored fighting vehicles in the Pacific Theater from the Philippines to Okinawa.
Although the history of armor in World War II has captured the attention of countless authors, the extensive use of tanks in the Pacific has gone largely unexamined. Now historian Gene Eric Salecker corrects this oversight. With comprehensive detail, Salecker describes the exploits of American tanks on the jungle islands where troops engaged in savage combat and encountered unforgiving weather and terrain.
Stationed in the Philippines when the Japanese attacked the islands in 1941, the U.S. Army's independent tank battalions fought from the very start of the war. From New Guinea and the Solomons to Makin, Saipan, and Guam, American armor proved instrumental in winning World War II in the Pacific.
