Coles A War for Half the World: Why the Real Battle for the Future Was Fought in the Pacific at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

The largest battlefield in history. The most consequential struggle of the modern world.
Fought across an immense expanse of ocean, air, and jungle, the Pacific War unfolded over the largest and most complex battlefield in history. It was here—amid carrier duels, amphibious assaults, and grinding campaigns across far-flung islands—that the balance of real global power was not only contested, but remade.
From the opening shock of Pearl Harbor to the climactic struggles that brought the war to Japan’s doorstep, A War for Half the World delivers a sweeping, fast-paced narrative of the conflict’s defining moments. But it also goes further, revealing how the Pacific War reshaped the world that followed: accelerating the collapse of European empires, ushering in the nuclear age, and laying the groundwork for the strategic rivalries that continue to shape the world.
Blending vivid storytelling with sharp strategic insight, this is not simply a history of battles and commanders. It is an argument about consequence—about why the war fought across the Pacific Ocean proved to be the most far-reaching and transformative theater of the Second World War.
