The book "US Army Divisions of the Pacific War" provides a comprehensive overview of the organization, structure, and operations of the US Army divisions that fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The book covers the history of each division, from their formation and training in the United States to their deployment in the Pacific and their role in key battles and campaigns. The author, Colonel James J. Faulkner, is a military historian and a veteran of the US Army, who has conducted extensive research using primary sources such as unit histories, after-action reports, and personal accounts to provide an accurate and detailed account of the experiences of these divisions. The book is divided into four main sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the US Army's experience in the Pacific Theater. The first section provides an overview of the pre-war period, including the mobilization of the US Army and the creation of new divisions. The second section covers the early years of the war, including the battles in the Philippines, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
