'This terrifying remarkable work examines the attitudes, perceptions, and behaviour of U.S. fighting men in the Pacific theatre during World War II. Imaginatively drawing on letters, diaries, memoirs, military reports, and contemporary psychological assessments, Schrijvers reveals the social, historical, and emotional roots of the peculiarly frenzied and merciless war that Americans fought in what they regarded as an exotic and impenetrable paradise...One of the best current titles about the war.' - The Atlantic Monthly
