520 1 |a "Based on numerous diaries and letters, this book depicts the story of American soldiers in Asia and the Pacific during World War II. The author explores the soldiers' attitudes to the Far East and how they imagined it as a continuation of America's Wild West frontier. The Far East proved to be less easily subjected than the American West, however, and the author explores how the GIs' frustration and fury in Asia and the Pacific presaged the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki."--BOOK JACKET
