Volume 8 documents the swing of battle from the Axis to the Allies from December 1942 thru February 1943 as naval actions forced the Japanese to begin their retreat and their efforts to forestall the inevitable. Meanwhile, naval actions slowly strangled the Axis nations in Europe and led them to the road of defeat. Specific events include:
* The last naval battles for Guadalcanal.
* The IJN's secret evacuation of the Japanese Army from Guadalcanal.
* The Russian encirclement and destruction of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad.
* The German counterattacks against the much larger Russian Army in the Ukraine.
* The Battle of the North Atlantic between Allied convoy escorts and German U-boats.
* The Allies' advance to trap German and Italian troops in Tunisia.
* Intense actions in the Arctic Ocean as the German surface fleet tried to destroy the Arctic Convoys.
* Increased attacks by USN submarines on Japanese shipping.
