Synopsis
The United States Marine Corps came into its own in the Pacific Islands campaign against Japan in World War II. From Guadalcanal to Okinawa, US Marines formed the tip of the spear as Allied forces sought to push the Japanese back to their Home Islands. This fascinating study tracks the deployments of the various Marine divisions throughout the war and explains their composition, but also goes deeper, to detail the individual regiments--the focus of the Marines' identity and pride. It explains the organization of the Marine infantry regiment and its equipment, and how they developed during the war. The Marine infantryman's evolving uniforms, field equipment, and weapons are illustrated throughout using specially commissioned artwork and detailed descriptions to produce a fitting portrait of the US military's elite fighting force in the Pacific., A fully illustrated study that describes the combat record, uniforms, and equipment of the individual regiments of the US Marine Corps that won immortality in the bloody island-hopping campaign in the Pacific War., During World War II the Us Navy and Marine Corps virtually invented the art and science of modern amphibious warfare, and developed it to a commanding level of success right across the Pacific theater of war. The bare figures behind this achievement are astonishing: in 1939 the whole USMC comprised just 18,000 men (roughly the same as the New York Police Department); in 1945 it numbered 485,000. At the outbreak of war the Corps had just three infantry regiments; by early 1944 it had 18, plus scores of other combat and support units. This book lists the assignments and operations, and details the organization and weaponry, of all the Marine infantry units. It is illustrated with detailed tables of organization, many wartime photographs, and new color plates illustrating combat uniforms and equipment of the Marines throughout the Pacific theater of World War II.

    Great seller. Super fast shipping - 2 days from their location to Calgary. Items are in even better condition than described. Seller included a free vintage magazine - thank you. Excellent to do business with and I will be returning. Packaging was solid - items were better than described (e.g. Paths of Glory was noted as slightly damaged but looked new with an open box.). Seller is exceedingly honest in description. Best grognard seller I've dealt with and I'll be back.
