Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm a writer and historian I read about the history of war and my most recent work was a three volume history about the Pacific naval war including the war in the South Pacific

my first time visiting the Solomons in 2011 was for research and my impression was that it's an extraordinarily beautiful place a very rugged place a very remote

I think it's really important to understand in particular history of the Second World War it was of course a terrible event in which Millions died but it was also the conflict that really shaped the world that we live in today

when I visit these places I really do feel as if I am seeing and experiencing the history of that war Through The Eyes of those who were there

YouTube Video Description

Hiding among the azure lagoons, white-sand beaches, and tropical forests of places like the Solomon Islands, Fiji, and Vanuatu, the scars of World War II are still very much present. As we call in on these remote sites on our Rites and Relics voyage, we’ll be joined by Ian W. Toll, author of a highly regarded, three-volume history of the Pacific War, who will help resurrect these stories from the past. “When I visit these places, I really do feel as if I’m seeing the history of that war through the eyes of those who were there and that makes it a much richer and more personal experience.” Join our Rites and Relics voyage: https://bit.ly/RitesRelicsFB
