Sommario/riassunto

Our Jungle Road to Tokyo by General Robert L. Eichelberger, in collaboration with Milton MacKaye, provides a detailed account of Eichelberger's experiences and military campaigns in the Pacific during World War II. The book highlights significant battles, such as those at Buna, Leyte, and Manila, and details the strategic operations that led to the eventual occupation of Japan. Eichelberger shares personal anecdotes and reflections on the challenges faced by American troops, offering insight into the complexities of war planning and execution. The book serves as both a historical narrative and a tribute to the soldiers who fought and sacrificed in the Pacific theater. It is intended for readers interested in military history, particularly those focusing on the Pacific campaigns of World War II.
