    I just finished Empires on the Pacific by Robert Smith Thompson.
    Anyone else have a chance to read this book? I'm trying to form an opinion and can't really do it on my own.

    Knight, I have read the book a very interesting read with an interesting thesis on the cause of the start of the war in the pacific. If you liked that you should try:
    G Kennedy - 'Anglo-American Strategic Relations and the Far East 1933-1939'
    This offers the thesis that anglo-american relations in the far east conditioned the way the war was fought and why it was fought. a very good read.
