A dozen essays, based upon papers given at the Conference on "The Pacific War: A Reappraisal after Fifty Years," held at the Imperial War Museum, London, December 1991, challenge the conventional literature on the Pacific War. They deal with a wide range of issues, including a reappraisal of Anglo-Japanese relations; Churchill's strategy for the defense of the British Empire; Burma, 1941-45; the role of Thailand; American radical interpretations of the Pacific War; the role of US Army codebreakers; the reality behind the German-Japanese Alliance; Chinese perspectives on the Pacific War; American atomic strategy; and Japanese responses to the US atomic bombs in 1945.
