Stepping Stones to the Philippines

Crusade in the Pacific examines the Allied effort on the island of New Britain. First it looks at the invasions of Arawe and Cape Gloucester and the crucial contributions of Native American scouts and Australian coast watchers. It also looks at the attacks on Rabaul and the Admiralty Islands, and, later, the step-by-step effort to seize control northern New Guinea.
