This is one of the September 1965 fourth printings of Dell No. 1382. Taken taken from the introduction - “The War with Japan was bizarre, spectacular, dramatic. Here in the giant amphitheater of the world’s largest ocean the greatest sea battles of history were waged–battleships, cruisers, destroyers and PTs locked in night actions, fleets of aircraft carriers fighting to the death in daylight, Japanese kamikazes riding baka bombs on one-way assaults on American ships. Here were man-to-man struggles in the jungle hells of the Pacific Islands, where the enemy concealed himself with the craft of the primeval beast, signaled his fellow with bird calls, sniped from trees, and fought to his death in millions of caves from Guadalcanal to Okinawa. In the following collection of articles about the Pacific-Asian war, from the sinking of two prize warships of the Royal Navy by skillful Japanese bombers off the coast of Southeast Asia to the searing explosion of the world’s first nuclear bomb at Hiroshima, we find the vast sweep of The War With Japan”.

Taken from the introduction – “All of us, however engaged, in whatever theater of war, saw in Hitler’s Germany an enemy more than worthy of our hatred. Yes, it was moral to hate, to sacrifice, to strike back furiously and bravely. Be aware of the indignities suffered by all manner of people in countries of occupied Europe. Be aware of the deaths efficiently engineered by the Storm Troopers, and, still more, the hundreds of thousands of aware but unprotesting Germans stoking the ovens of Dachau, Buchenwald and other concentration camps. Be aware of what it meant to live in London during the blitz when the glorious Luftwaffe hurled incendiary bombs on your home. Then read these stories of combat with a deeper understanding of what was being fought for. From the back cover – “The War With Germany” “Here is the whole, flaming story of the most decisive battles of the war in Europe, brilliantly told by the men who were there.
