I love WW2 Pacific War history. There are a lot of quality videos on YouTube about it.

I also enjoyed “My helmet was my pillow” and “With the Old Guard” (titles possibly mangled because I’m not wide awake yet).

I don’t contribute to the discussions much because I’m not terribly knowledgeable, but I appreciate the efforts of those who do.

Neptune’s Inferno is a good read. The Japanese were excellent ship handlers, but their leadership had flawed strategic planning.

You may enjoy William Manchester's Goodbye Darkness about ground combat in the Pacific. There are also a number of exciting first person accounts of US submarines in the Pacific.
