The chapters on intelligence organizations in both the Japanese and US militaries are particularly useful in understanding Judges explication of the concept of strategic initiative. Judge argues that strategic initiative is a concept that needs more formal study, and his case study here highlights how such a process can be accomplished while at the same time providing a gripping campaign analysis."" - John T. Kuehn, professor of military history, Army Command and General Staff College ""This insightful study shows how the tide really turned in the Japanese-American Pacific War. Reinforcing the role of contingency in shaping outcomes in the conflict that are too often seen as preordained, Judge reveals the combination of strategy and serendipity that allowed the Americans to finally seize the initiative that would lead to eventual victory."" - Conrad C. Crane, author of American Airpower Strategy in World War II: Bombs, Cities, Civilians, and Oil ""Sean M. Judges The Turn of the Tide in the Pacific War sheds much-needed light on two important issues. He first provides analytical clarity concerning the much bandied-about concept of strategic initiative. Then he puts it to good use by demonstrating how the campaigns for New Guinea and Guadalcanal were mutually supporting and turned the tide against the Japanese military. Judges work demands a wide readership."" - Kevin C. Holzimmer, author of General Walter Krueger: Unsung Hero of the Pacific War
