But it became a household name after the Japanese captured Rabaul in January 1942 and developed it into their most heavily defended fortress outside the home islands. Thereafter, Rabaul endured Allied air attacks for a total of forty-four monthsa span unmatched by any other locale in World War II. In Target: Rabaul, respected military historian Bruce Gamble concludes his critically acclaimed trilogy about Japan's most notorious stronghold. Picking up where Fortress Rabaul left off, Gamble narrates the story of Cartwheel, the multiple-operation plan that isolated Rabaul through aerial and naval siege. The effort, involving all of the armed branches of the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, resulted in some of the heaviest and most dramatic aerial combat of the Pacific war, with frequent clashes between hundreds of planes. The culmination of an amazing story, Target: Rabaul profiles the resolve of the Allied and Japanese combatants in the horrific Pacific battlegroundand provides the turbulent, triumphant conclusion to the most comprehensive account of World War ll's longest battle. "Bruce Gamble has done it again! An impeccable researcher and a master storyteller with a keen eye for detail and characters, Gamble presents Target: Rabaul, a powerful conclusion to his must-read trilogy on the battle over Japan's Southwest Pacific stronghold. The heart-pounding stories of aerial combat read like a thrillerand show why he is one of the finest writers working today."
