Synopsis

The 233d Engineer Combat Battalion 1943-1945, first published in 1947, is the World War II account of the battalion, from training in the eastern U.S., to the unit's move to Hawaii, then into combat on Guam, the Philippines, and Okinawa. The men of the battalion took part in heavy fighting, amphibious beach landings, mine-clearing operations, road and bridge building, and heavy-equipment tasks vital to the Allied victory. Personal interviews provide insight into the conditions and challenges faced by the battalion as they fought a determined enemy in a harsh environment. Illustrated throughout with photographs and maps, and with a chronology, list of battle casualties, awards received, and unit rosters.
