Why read it?

1 author picked To the End of the Earth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Though America’s War against Japan is generally considered a naval war, the role of the U.S. Army in the conflict is often overlooked. Not anymore.

McManus brings the role of the Army fully to center stage and, like Toll, he does so with a lively and accessible prose that keeps the reader turning pages. The third and final volume of this trilogy is To the End of the Earth, which came out in 2023. Though all three volumes are worth your time, the final volume completes the story satisfactorily.
