Battle of the Pacific
The Battle of the Pacific was essentially a maritime war, and it was at sea that Japan commenced aggressions, the first attack designed to destroy the heart of the U.S. Fleet at Pearl Harbor. This dramatic collection of documentary footage gives a detailed account of all that went on at sea. From the gruelling daily tasks in harsh weather endured protecting Alaska's Aleutian Islands to the amphibious invasion of Iwo Jima. Encompassing 6 hours of footage, this collection details the planning for, and the action of, the battles at sea that lead to the defeat of the Japanese Empire, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Featuring selected works from acclaimed directors Frank Capra and John Ford, plus narration on selected documentaries from John Huston and Henry Fonda.
