Not really War in the Pacific category, but: Pavel Mičianik: Slovenská Armáda v ťažení proti Sovietskemu zväzu 1941-1944 (Slovak Army in war against Soviet union 1941-1944).
It is as detailed as it could be (and I love the details).
Anyway also reading The Army Air Force in world War 2, vol.3 on ibiblio.org

"Turning the Tide: How a small band of Allied Sailors defeated the U-Boats and won the Battle of the Atlantic" by Ed Offley. It's a new book and it's a nice read. Concentrates on three Allied Convoys making the eastbound crossing of the Atlantic in 1943 through the Greenland Air Gap and a few of the U-Boats that attacked them. It's interesting when I run across the name of a transport that is in the game, I've run across a bunch of Luckenbach's for example.

Unbroken. about 20% in. Really good read. The accounts of accidents and operational losses is astounding. Sad stuff, like seeing one of your bombers fly past the base with a broken radio never to be seen again.

Am I the only one who isn't currently reading anything about the Pacific?  (For that matter, I'm not currently reading anything about any war anywhere at any time.)
