Now Stephen Taaffe has written the definitive history of that assault, showing why it succeeded and what it contributed to the overall strategy against Japan. His book tells not only how victory was gained through a combination of technology, tactics, and army-navy cooperation but also how the New Guinea campaign exemplified the strategic differences that plagued the Pacific War, since many high-ranking officers considered it a diversionary tactic rather than a key offensive. MacArthur's Jungle War examines the campaign's strategic background and individual operations, describing the enormous challenges posed by jungle and amphibious warfare. Perhaps more important, it offers a balanced assessment of MacArthur's leadership and limitations, revealing his reliance on familiar battle plans and showing the vital role that subordinates played in his victory.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University Press of Kansas","offers":[{"title":"Macarthur's Jungle War: The 1944 New Guinea Campaign | Stephen R Taaffe | Hardcover | 9780700608706 | Used: Very Good | Military History 1691596","offer_id":50812706390274,"sku":"1691596","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81Gk1bTJU1L.jpg?v=1792480379","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/macarthurs-jungle-war-the-1944-new-guinea-campaign","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
