A stunning saga of human adventure, Let the Sea Make a Noise... is a gripping account of the rise and fall of empires in the last vast unexplored corner of the habitable earth -- an area occupying one-sixth of the globe. Organized into short, action-packed scenarios that zip the reader from the tropical paradise of Hawaii to the island fortress of Japan, from the frozen wastes of Siberia to the California coastline and into the power center of London, Washington, Tokyo, and St. Petersburg, the book offers dazzling insights into all the twists and turns of the Pacific empire.
