Summary:From Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a group of highly courageous correspondents covered America's war against Japan. Based on a wealth of previously untapped primary sources, 'The War Beat, Pacific' provides a comprehensive account of what these reporters witnessed, what they were allowed to publish, and how their reports shaped the home front's perception of some of the most pivotal battles in American history. In a dramatic and fast-paced narrative, the book takes us from MacArthur's doomed defense on the Philippines and the navy's overly strict censorship policy at the time of Midway through the bloody battles on Guadalcanal, New Guinea, Tarawa, Saipan, Leyte and Luzon, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, detailing the cooperation, as well as conflict, between the media and the military as they grappled with the enduring problem of limiting a free press during a period of extreme crisis
