About the Book

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 22. Chapters: Battle of the Coral Sea, Beda Fomm, El Alamein, Fort Capuzzo, Halfaya Pass, Mona Islands, Tobruk, Utah Beach. Excerpt: The Battle of the Coral Sea, fought during 4 8 May 1942, was a major naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II between the Imperial Japanese Navy and Allied naval and air forces from the United States and Australia.
