About the Book

In late 1943, as the prospect of victory over Germany became discernible, the British High Command's attention turned towards the Pacific. At issue was Britain's role in what would be the final stage of the Japanese war. Given conflicting considerations, the lack of facilities, supplies and men, and a Navy unfamiliar with large-scale carrier operations, the search for a national strategy was to take a full year. Within the British High Command, a bitter debate raged between a prime minister intent upon an Indian Ocean-based amphibious strategy and chiefs of staff who recognized that an Upper Burma commitment was unavoidable and the employment of a carrier force in the central Pacific highly desirable. This book follows the debate, tracing its course and arguing that policy was shaped as much by the unfolding of events as deliberate calculations. Drawing on British Cabinet, service and planning papers, the book examines a process and issues that remain relevant today - the formulation of national policy, its joint service application, reconstitution, and the confusion of political and military argument at the highest level of policy-making. In addition, the book examines the decisions that were made against the record of achievement in 1944 and 1945.
