Sinopsis

Set in the lush Pacific islands during World War II, Operation South Pacific relates the story of aspiring novelist and U.S. Navy Lieutenant James Michener.While attempting to write about his war experiences and fulfill his military obligations, Lt. Michener encounters several unforgettable characters: a churlish Tomkinese field worker named Bloody Mary, a patriotic French planter willing to fight for the Free French in the islands, a remarkable American nurse who will change his life, and a motley but valorous band of fighting men.áThis is the inspiring account of how one man with a story to tell rose from complete obscurity to become one of the most honored and distinguished writers of the past century. Fighting self-doubt and the blanket indifference of the book industry, Michener published Tales of the South Pacific in 1946. The novel eventually attracted the attention of Broadway superstars Rodgers and Hammerstein, who adapted his prize winning account into the one of the great stage musicals of all time, South Pacific.ááIn this story based on true events, James Michener overcomes whatever obstacles are placed in his way by using his creative bravery, his Quaker humility, and his uncompromising search for the truth to win the hearts and minds of his readers.Operation South Pacific is a must read for all aspiring authors and artists.
