The Screen Guide

Steve Irwin's grandfather and great-grandfather were both killed in World War II’s Pacific Theatre. Steve's father-in-law, Clarence Raines, served in the Pacific on the USS Boise through numerous naval battles. The tragedy and triumph of this shared history has linked Steve’s family heritage to the historic events that shaped the world over 60 years ago. In this epic two-part mini-series, Steve revisits some of the notorious and legendary battle grounds of the Pacific conflict between the Allied forces and Japan.
