About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Book Sales, Incorporated, 1996. Octavo, hardcover, book club edition, VG in fair white pictorial dj with red design and red amd black lettering. 436 pp. including index. If the U.S. Marines spawned a legend in the halls of Montezuma in the 19th century, their heroism during the Second World War added glorious luster to the myth. This book presents the first comprehensive history of the role played by the Marines in the Pacific campaign of WWII, covering all the battles in which they fought. Drawn from frontline eyewitness accounts of Marines and combat journalists, official action reports, captured Japanese materials, and diaries on both sides, here is the definitive record of the Marine Corps' essential contribution to American victory.
