US Eighth Army History

Hello,

Does anyone know of any good books, or articles, that detail the history of the US Eighth Army in the Pacific?

 

Report of the commanding general, Eighth U.S. Army on the Leyte-Samar operation (including clearance of the Visayan passages), 26 December 1944 - 8 May 1945. :: World War II Operational Documents
Report of the Commanding General, Eighth Army on the Luzon Mop-Up operation. :: World War II Operational Documents
Eighth Army in Japan, 30 August 1945 -- 1 May 1946. :: World War II Operational Documents
Report of the commanding general Eighth U.S. Army on the Mindoro-Marinduque operation, 1 January--31 January 1945. :: World War II Operational Documents

A more detailed search of the Ike Skelton Library Digital Libraary at CGSC should yield more.

Thanks for sending these over. Both look like great resources. I know little about my Grandfather's service in WWII except his basic enlistment details and that he served with the Eighth in the pacific (learned from a photo I have). His records were all destroyed in the fire at the national archives in the 1970's. I've sent back some info to see if they can reconstruct anything from other sources, but in the meantime have been trying to learn more about the Eighth Army.
