From Pearl Harbor to Okinawa : The War in the Pacific ... (ISBN 0394903943)

A Good "Starter" for your delve into the Battle for Okinawa:
A cursory, almost story-book rendering of the Battle for Okinawa. My favorite feature of this book is the many simple maps of the various areas throughout the Pacific Theater of Operations. In only 185 pages of relatively large print, this book treats the Pacific war from the morning of December 7th, 1941 to the signing of the surrender aboard the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945. This is an excellent "starter" book for the novice historian or curious reader.

A 6th Grader Reviews "From Pearl Harbor to Okinawa":
I liked this book because it's the first book I ever read about the war between the U.S. and Japan. It had a lot of good information and the pictures at the beginning of the book captured the key points of the war. Even though it was factual, it was never boring.
