The lead destroyer reached the harbour; as she moved to the entrance all was quiet. Then suddenly, as she glided in, the night was split as coastal guns, machine-guns on the cliffs, rifles on the wharves, poured fire in her direction. The big question was answered - the French were fighting. \\\* Operation Torch: Anglo-American Invasion of North Africa is part of the Pan/Ballantine's Illustrated History of World War II, and is Book #22 in the Campaign Book series.

By the spring of 1943, Japan had a tight grip on the countries and territories of East Asia and the Western Pacific. But the Allies had won decisive victories at Midway and Guadalcanal, and they were coming for the rest of Japan’s conquests. Now the empire of Japan would be on the defensive. Featuring a new introduction by the author, this book picks up where Pacific Onslaught left off, providing a detailed, step-by-step account of the Allies’ unstoppable rally across territories annexed by the Japanese in a brutal two-pronged attack across New Guinea and the Philippines, and the islands of the central Pacific. Here you’ll find detailed contemporary accounts and strategy from the epic battles of the Gilberts and Marshalls to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Japan’s final surrender on the decks of the USS Missouri. These works on the War in the Pacific are as gripping today as when they were first published.
