Summary:

Combining graphic combat footage and expert commentary, this is a commanding view of the battles and strategy, the men and machines, and the horror and heroism that marked World War II. [Episode 1] As the Imperial Japanese Empire extended their military bases, the Allies hopped from island to island, attacking where weak and avoiding unnecessary targets, which ultimately brought victory. [Episode 2] As the Marines battled the Japanese in the jungles of the southwest Pacific, they also fought malaria, heat exhaustion and parasites, while the Navy and Air Force fought in sea and sky.
