In June 1944, the United States launched a crushing assault on the Japanese navy in the Battle of the Philippine Sea. The capture of the Mariana Islands and the accompanying ruin of Japanese carrier airpower marked a pivotal moment in the Pacific War. No tactical masterstroke or blunder could reverse the increasingly lopsided balance of power between the two combatants. The War in the Pacific had entered its endgame.

Beginning with the Honolulu Conference, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt met with his Pacific theater commanders to plan the last phase of the campaign against Japan, Twilight of the Gods brings to life the harrowing last year of World War II in the Pacific, when the U.S. Navy won the largest naval battle in history; Douglas MacArthur made good his pledge to return to the Philippines; waves of kamikazes attacked the Allied fleets; the Japanese fought to the last man on one island after another; B-29 bombers burned down Japanese cities; and Hiroshima and Nagasaki were vaporized in atomic blasts.

Ian W. Toll's narratives of combat in the air, at sea, and on the beaches are as gripping as ever, but he also reconstructs the Japanese and American home fronts and takes the reader into the halls of power in Washington and Tokyo, where the great questions of strategy and diplomacy were decided.

Drawing from a wealth of rich archival sources and new material, Twilight of the Gods casts a penetrating light on the battles, grand strategic decisions and naval logistics that enabled the Allied victory in the Pacific. An authoritative and riveting account of the final phase of the War in the Pacific, Twilight of the Gods brings Toll's masterful trilogy to a thrilling conclusion. This prize-winning and best-selling trilogy will stand as the first complete history of the Pacific War in more than twenty-five years, and the first multivolume history of the Pacific naval war since Samuel Eliot Morison's series was published in the 1950s.

Doesn't smell like sunscreen
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is so easy to apply and it smells great. I am sensitive to the sun but I hate smelling like sunscreen, this has a fresh clean smell and goes on evenly.

A new favorite sunscreen to add to my arsenal
I've been using the Neutrogena Clear Body SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray for a couple weeks now. I bought it after reading lots of positive reviews online, and it definitely is as good as people say. The spray is very lightweight and non-greasy, which is perfect for someone like me with oily, acne-prone skin. It dries in seconds and leaves a matte finish with no white residue or sticky feel. It seems to be as non-comedogenic, as it claims, my pores have stayed clear even after long days with this sunscreen on my face and body. I’ve used it on long sunny days doing landscaping and gardening work in my yard and, other than a small patch that I missed, I didn't get pink at all. I don’t have to worry about it coming off when I get a bit too sweaty. Overall, this sunscreen spray is super easy to apply and noticeably effective. It’s become a key part of my morning routine, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an effective sunscreen that doesn’t clog the pores.

Excellent choice!
I really like this Neutrogena Clear Body sunscreen. I have very fair skin that burns easily. Good sunscreen is a must, and I have tried dozens of them. To date, this is my favorite one. For an SPF50, it goes on very light, dries quickly, and has only a mild scent. It has been doing a good job protecting my delicate skin from the burning sun rays.
