| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc - "This volume covers Engineer operations in support of the U.S. Army in the war against Japan. The story begins with the defense build-up in 1939 and ends with the Japanese surrender aboard the battleship Missouri on 2 September 1945. Geographically, Engineer operations extended from the Panama Canal to India and from Alaska to Australia, in actual or potential areas of conflict. The author has attempted not only to depict various types of Engineer operations but also to indicate how engineer work helped implement Allied strategy. Included are discussions of the Engineer position in command structure and a general account of both Engineer combat and service missions within a given theater." - From the Preface
