		The Pacific War occurred in the Pacific Ocean, its islands, and in Asia.
		The Pacific War Council was formed in Washington on April 1, 1942, with a membership consisting of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, his key advisor Harry Hopkins, and representatives from Britain, China, Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Canada.

	WWII Campaigns: Central Pacific
		The Central Pacific was equally important to the United States as the path of military advance postulated in the ORANGE plans developed by the Joint Board, composed of planners from the Army General Staff and the General Board of the Navy, during the 1920s and 1930s.
		Among the major decisions reached at this conference—one that would directly affect the conduct of the Central Pacific Campaign— was confirmation at the highest level that the focus of the Allied war effort would initially be Germany, while the Pacific would remain on the strategic defensive as an economy-of-force theater.
		While the campaign was not marked by a series of battles leading to a grand finale, it does reflect the education of the American armed forces as they pulled themselves out of the despair of Pearl Harbor toward victory.

		As with all campaigns, the issues will have to be simplified to get the message across to the public, particularly to schoolchildren, and it is quite possible that all fishing activity on coral reefs will come under suspicion.
		The campaign itself is planned to start on February 11th, 1997, to allow time for the departmental workload accumulated from the Christmas holidays to have cleared, and the campaign will run for 12 months.
		Participants are invited to discuss the Pacific Year of the Coral Reef and urged to coordinate with their national environment departments (where they are separate) to promote action towards a mututally beneficial set of goals in the coming campaign.

	United States Strategic Bombing Survey: Summary Report (Pacific War)
		In the Central Pacific it began with the assault on the Gilbert Islands in November 1943.
		The Pacific war was unique in many respects, as was the European war, and great reservation should be used in assuming that what was effective or not effective under those circumstances would be similarly effective at other times and under different circumstances.
		Japan's geographical situation determined that the Pacific war should in large measure be a war for control of the sea, and to insure control of the sea, for control of the air over it.

	Amazon.com: PACIFIC CAMPAIGN: THE U.S.-JAPANESE NAVAL WAR 1941-1945: Books: Dan Van der Vat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This 429-page book is recommended as a "refresher" for someone who is familiar with the general facts of WWII in the Pacific but is vague on the specifics or someone with no prior knowledge who wants to learn the details (units, ships, commanders) of the principal campaigns and battles.
		It does lack detail on some very important aspects of the campaign that I found a little annoying: a cursory look at the effectiveness of the Kamikaze, a lack of the detail on the carrier-based operations against Japan and by extension, the actions of the tactically significant British Carrier group in the Pacific.
		All the essentials needed to understand the war in the Pacific are well presented here, as Van der Vat offers a broad overview of the war in a way that covers all the aspects from both sides and neglects no significant area.
