This is Book Three of the Rabaul Trilogy. Prior to World War II, few Americans had heard of Rabaul, a small harbor town in a far-off corner to the Pacific. But it became a household name after the Japanese captured Rabaul in January 1942 and developed it into their most heavily defended fortress outside the home islands. Thereafter, Rabaul endured Allied air attacks for a total of 44 months - a span unmatched by any other locale in World War II.
