"A terrific, engaging listen..." 

Great Battles for Boys: World War II Pacific takes young readers to the front lines of the Pacific Theater of World War II.

Read by acclaimed voice actor Jake Phillips, this audiobook history opens with the Flying Tigers, wild American soldiers fighting against Japan before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Following Japan's deadly surprise attack, the battles storm across the Pacific Ocean in a lethal "island hopping" military strategy that brought Victory Over Japan.

"Bite-sized history for active boys. Joe is my son's history teacher at our homeschool co-op. The chapters are short enough for a single sitting and involve one campaign. There's also a section in each chapter subtitled, "Who Fought", which focuses on one real person in that campaign..." 5 Stars, A Mom

Boys learn a vast and amazing array of WWII history including:

  • How the Battle of Wake Island turned into "The Alamo of the Pacific"

  • The process of figuring out how to launch the world's first fighter planes from ships in the middle of the ocean.

  • Why the Doolittle Raid was considered a suicide mission.

  • How young American men who'd never seen combat survived while fighting on strange and hostile islands such as Guadalcanal, Saipan, and Iwo Jima.

Each chapter features dramatic true stories and historic photos, maps, and other awe-inspiring images. Written specifically for boys who are reluctant readers, the short chapters get right to the fight.
