BATTLES OF WORLD WAR II; Japan 1942 America's first strike back at Japan

---

In early 1942, the strategic situation was bleak for the United States. She had been in continual retreat since Pearl Harbor, surrendering major areas such as the Philippines, and was preparing for the worst in Hawaii and on the West Coast. The Japanese, on the other hand, has secured a well-defended perimeter, and were set for further expansion. The combined-arms Doolittle Raid on Japan was a way to strike back quickly. This book examines the planning, execution, and aftermath of this innovative attack, which would show that the Japanese were anything but invincible.
