Culturally unique and highly resilient, Japanese forces posed a formidable challenge to the Allies, fighting with relentless tenacity in unforgiving jungles and on remote islands. This documentary, narrated by Liam Dale, presents a compelling account of the Japanese war strategy, from epic naval battles to brutal close-combat encounters. Through rare archival footage, witness the events that unfolded in the Far East, where the concept of "no surrender" defined Japanese resistance. Ultimately, it was this unyielding spirit that led America to take extreme measures to secure a lasting peace. Explore every aspect of Japan’s WWII role, and understand the impact on a global scale.
