Implacable Foes: War in the Pacific, 1944-1945May 8, 1945, Victory in Europe Day shortened to "V. E. Day" brought with it the demise of Nazi Germany. But for the Allies, the war was only half won. Exhausted but exuberant American soldiers, ready to return home, were sent to join the fighting in the Pacific, which by the spring and summer of 1945 had turned into a grueling campaign of bloody attrition against an enemy determined to fight to the last man. Germany had surrendered unconditionally.
May 8, 1945, Victory in Europe Day--shortened to "V.E. Day"--brought with it the demise of Nazi Germany. But for the Allies, the war was only half-won. Exhausted but exuberant American soldiers, ready to return home, were sent to join the fighting in the Pacific, which by the spring and summer of 1945 had turned into a grueling campaign of bloody attrition against an enemy determined to fight to the last man. Germany had surrendered unconditionally. The Japanese would clearly make the conditions of victory extraordinarily high. Following V-E Day, American citizens understandably clamored for their young men to be shipped back from Europe and longed for a return to a peacetime economy. Politics intruded upon military policy while a new and untested president struggled to control policy. The challenge of defeating the Japanese had come to seem nearly insurmountable. American casualty rates during the previous eighteen months led Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall to warn of the toll that "the agony of enduring battle" would likely take. General Douglas MacArthur clashed with Marshall and Admiral Chester Nimitz over strategy. Meanwhile, under pressure, the Army began a program of partial demobilization of troops in Europe, which depleted units at a time when combat-tested soldiers were most needed. In this context of military emergency, the fearsome projections of the human cost of invading the Japanese homeland, and weakening social and political will in the American homeland, seemed to make victory, unconditional or otherwise, an increasingly distant prospect. In Implacable Foes, award-winning historians Waldo Heinrichs and Marc Gallicchio bring to life the final year and a half of World War II in the Pacific, combining grand strategy and ground-level account, taking readers from the island-hopping campaigns in the spring of 1944--New Guinea to the Philippines to Okinawa and Iwo Jima--right up to the dropping of the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Heinrichs and Gallicchio reveal more fully than ever before not only the Japanese policies of desperate defense, but also the sometimes rancorous debates on the home front, and in the process deliver a gripping battle narrative integrated with a provocative and revisionist discussion of American decision-making. The result is a masterful work of military history, one that illuminates both the calculus of global war and the incalculable part played by individual sacrifice.Binding Type: Paperback

No more split lips!!
Living in New England means dealing with really dry winters. Consequently, good hand lotion and lip balm makes a tremendous difference. Whereas Chapstick and many other common brands contain alcohols which can perpetuate problems, this Beef Tallow lip balm is the best I’ve found at preventing split lips.

Lip balm
I had low expectations about this lip balm but after using it, my expectations are higher. I like how my lips are not only moisted but softer as well. Trust and believe, a little goes a long way.

Pass
Our family is just getting started on the tallow journey so we’re learning. I have a son that deals with chapped lips continually so I thought I’d give this a shot. We were both horribly disappointed. Upon opening the balm a huge portion was smashed up into the lid. This is defeating the purpose of a lip balm. Also the texture is weird. It is crumbly and not able to spread easily. I hope this is a one off and not a tallow balm norm.

Love this so much
Big, chonky lip balm! I am one of those people who cannot have dry lips, so I am always applying lip balms. I put this one on before bed and again in the morning and have noticed my lips stay moisturized and soft longer and I do not need to apply my usual lip balm nearly as much throughout the day. Disclaimer: this lip balm is literally tallow/fat/oil, so I do not carry it in my pocket or purse as I am pretty sure it may melt.
