The War Against Japan -1941-1945

Carefully selected imagery and first-hand accounts bring to life the experiences of those who served in the Pacific theatre – on land, at sea and in the air. Each chapter chronologically charts the key battles and operations, while uncovering the human stories behind each milestone.

Through objects, maps, archival documents, alongside familiar and lesser-known imagery, The War Against Japan provides a visual journey through one of history’s most devastating theatres of war.
