In 1944-45, as Allied victory in Europe seems all but assured, the fighting in the Pacific intensifies. The U.S. and Japan suffer terrible losses in the Philippines and on Iwo Jima. Roosevelt understands what ordinary Americans are only beginning to realize: in a clash between a nation which demands unconditional surrender and a nation which refuses to surrender, the worst is still to come. World War II with Tom Hanks is a premium retelling of the Second World War, drawing on rarely seen archival material, evocative storytelling, and insights from leading historians worldwide, including the UK.
