Tarawa Atoll in the Central Pacific was the November, 1943 testing ground for America's ability to take heavily defended Japanese-held islands. The trial lasted three and a half days and would cost more than 3,000 USMC casualties at the hands of a Japanese garrison of some 4,700 men -- of whom just 17 would allow themselves to be taken alive. This compelling account of one of the most savage battles of World War II draws upon the vivid memories of Marine veterans of those 76 terrible hours of close-quarter fighting. It is supported by striking photographs, by the poignant drawings of a war artist who landed with the Marines, and by detailed maps and appendices.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Tarawa Atoll one of the Gilbert Islands in the Central Pacific was the testing ground for a new and challenging type of warfare. Before the US 2nd Marine Division's assault landings in November 1943, America's ability to take heavily defended Japanese-held islands was untested. How well these planned operations would work and at what cost, could only be discovered by trial and error. This account of one of the most savage battles of World War II draws upon the memories of Marine vetrans of those 76 terrible hours of close-quarter fighting. It is supported by photographs and the poignant drawings of a war artist who landed with the Marines, and by detailed maps and appendices. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR002686652
