Paperback. Condizione: Good. The battle for the Pacific island of Peleliu in the autumn of 1944 is far less well known - even among US Marine Corps veterans - than Tarawa, Iwo Jima or Okinawa. Yet in the savagery of the fighting, the courage and determination displayed, and the casualty rates suffered by the units of the 1st Marine Division, it can claim to stand beside them all. Peleliu was a jinxed operation. It is arguable that it need never have been mounted in the first place, since the fast-moving situation in the Central Pacific removed any pressing need to occupy the Palau Islands. When the 1st Marine Division landed they came up against Japan's new defensive technique - a garrison determined to die where stood in deep, complex bunker systems. The predicted 'three-day quickie' turned into a bloody nightmare that lasted for 71 murderous days. Brought to life by the words of the men who fought there, the story of Peleliu is an epic of the Second World War.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This is the wartime autobiography of one of the first officers to join the British Army's Glider Pilot Wing, a unique force that was at the forefront of the invasion of France and Holland in 1944. Alexander Morrison takes the reader through the D-Day invasion and describes the exacting tasks given to the regiment, tasks that provided a major contribution to the success of the sea landings. Three months later he flew into Arnhem to deliver the Airborne Anti-tank Battery. That achieved, his pilots formed a fighting unit to take part in the battle for the main bridge. Sadly, the planned relief by advancing British forces failed to materialize and the army pilots found themselves fighting for survival behind enemy lines. Eventually Morrison was captured and suffered in the hands of the Gestapo. After three months he was transferred to a large aircrew PoW camp where he helped to bring about the overthrow of the guards. The arrival of Russian forces delayed his final evacuation and created many hair-raising episodes before final freedom and a return to England became possible.…
