    Colonies in Ruins: Transformed by the Pacific War

    $3.99 – $12.99

    Colonies in Ruins is a collection of intriguing short-stories about foreign colonies of the Asia-Pacific region—British Malaya, French Indochina, the Dutch East Indies, and the US Philippine Islands. For a very long time, these colonies had generated fabulous wealth from mining and agriculture for their colonial masters, but colonial life came to an end on December 8, 1941 as they were each attacked by Japanese forces soon after the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor was devastated.

    Following three years of harsh Japanese occupation, the clear focus of local people was to gain independence from foreign powers that tried to reclaim their former colonies. Hard-won battles and negotiations finally led to the emergence of Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines as new republics in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.

    Read about the men and women who helped make it all happen.

    Paradise in Ruins: A Novel (View) of the Pacific War

    $3.99 – $26.99

    Paradise in Ruins offers readers a look at the Pacific Theater of World War Two by introducing them to military and naval leaders from both sides of the conflict, as well as local populations of the Pacific islands whose lives were suddenly disrupted by the brutal events that exploded eastward from Japan in 1941.

    Perhaps you had family members among the many thousands of young men and women who got transported across the Pacific Ocean to those mysterious islands that they were ordered to recapture from the Japanese.

    If you have occasionally wondered what Grandpa (or Grandma) did in the war, you are not alone. The generation that experienced World War Two is notorious for not speaking about what they saw and learned in that previously unimagined multilingual, multicultural environment. They just didn’t know how to describe their adventures to loved ones at home afterwards, so they chose silence instead.
