The
Ghost Mountain Boys: Their Epic March and the Terrifying Battle for New
Guinea--The Forgotten War of the South Pacific
by James Campbell
A harrowing portrait of a largely forgotten campaign that pushed one
battalion to the limits of human suffering.
Despite their lack of jungle training, the 32nd Division’s “Ghost Mountain
Boys” were assigned the most grueling mission of the entire Pacific campaign
in World War II: to march over the 10,000-foot Owen Stanley Mountains to
protect the right flank of the Australian army during the battle for New
Guinea. Reminiscent of the classics like Band of Brothers and The Things
They Carried, The Ghost Mountain Boys is part war diary, part extreme-adventure
tale, and—through letters, journals, and interviews—part biography of a
group of men who fought to survive in an environment every bit as fierce
as the enemy they faced. Theirs is one of the great untold stories of the
war.

The
Siege of Rabaul
by Henry Sakaida
Book Description:
Rabaul, on New Britain Island, was the cornerstone of Japanese power
in the Southwest Pacific island campaign. It was eventually reduced by
Allied airpower and then isolated and left to wither. Matching Japanese
diaries and interviews with similar material from the Allies, Sakaida records
the final epic air battles of early 1944, which broke the back of Rabaul's
aerial might. Sakaida also details the ordeal of the abandoned Japanese
units and their ingenious efforts to keep a guerrilla air force operating
until the end of the war in 1945. Many rare photos from Japanese and American
sources vividly depict battle conditions, detail encounters with Allied
adversaries, and provide perspectives from both sides.
