Episodes
Color film shot before war breaks out captures a world of fun and sun, but will be replaced with images of cataclysmic horror. Witness Japan's violent onslaught, from its raid on China to its attacks on Pearl Harbor and Australia.
Months after the Pearl Harbor attack, shock waves reverberate in every corner of the Pacific; Americans deploy to stem the enemy's advance; Allied forces later bond over efforts to thwart Japan's move to control New Guinea.
The United States engages in a series of island-hopping invasions; the first stop is the Tarawa Atoll, where troops embark upon the largest amphibious invasion ever staged in the Pacific to fight one of the costliest battles of the war.
By the summer of 1944, the United States aims for the heart of Japan's inner defense ring, engaging in a naval battle for Saipan in the Marianas.
The allied forces prepare to occupy the islands of Tinian and Guam, as they signify a threat to American air operations. At the same time, General Curtis LeMay must plan and execute a fire bombing against Japan.
The Pacific War in Color immerses viewers in a graphic and dramatic look through an unfiltered lens.
