SUMMARY:Ian Toll: “The Economic War Machine Supporting WWII in the Pacific”
DESCRIPTION:How did the US so quickly produce such an enormous war machine during WW II\, deploying huge military forces – men\, weapons\, and supplies efficiently across the expanse of the Pacific\, an ocean that covers 30% of the earth’s surface\, to win the largest naval battle in history? \nWe are pleased to welcome\, and hope to hear some answers – financial and global –  to that remarkable period pre-dating current time from military historian\, Ian Toll. Regarded as a great story-teller. Toll has written The Pacific Trilogy\, reported to be “military history at its best.”  His highly praised three-volume history ot the War narrates combats on the sea\, in the air\, on beaches\, a horrific time at sea\, and major challenges to power in Washington and Tokyo.  It has captivated readers of history and those of us who are ever-grateful for our American lives and developments of the late 20th Century.  TWILIGHT OF THE GODS\, War in the Western Pacific\, 1944-45\, is the final volume of the epic history.  It covers the period led by Douglas MacArthur in the Philippines\, featuring kamikaze attacks\, B-29 bombers\, the atomic blasts of that terrible defying\, yet successful strategic and diplomatic time.  A victory that won our US future for recent years. \nToll is a graduate of St. George’s School\, Georgetown University and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
