A very graphic account of the opening battle in the Central Pacific island hopping campaign . The U.S. Marines suffered 1000 dead in the three day battle to win control of this tiny strip of coral. The photographs of the aftermath bought home to the American public , the true face of the War in the Pacific.
This copy is in Very Good condition. There is some very minor coloring of the pages. There is some minor shelf wear including a tiny tear on the dust jacket. As always, the photos are of the book you will receive.
