A propos de cet article

527 Pages Indexed. Blue cloth with red lettering to the spine. Very slight barely noticeable spine cock. Interior text and illustrations are near flawless. Dust jacket is very good and a flap price of $8.95. Originally published in 1948 by the Historical Division department of the army as part of its series United States Army in World War II: The War in the Pacific. First Tuttle edition was in 1960 this book is a 1971 Sixth Printing. On October 3, 1944, American forces in the Pacific Ocean areas were told to seize positions in the Ryukyu Islands.

It describes in vivid detail a campaign against a capably led Japanese army of greater strength than anticipated, over difficult terrain heavily and expertly fortified, and thousands of miles from home. It is, in short, a chronicle of heroic endeavor that brought to its climax the most savagely fought war in history. This book is the work of U.S. Army historians who participated in the Ryukyu campaign as members of that group. organized to accompany the American forces in this campaign and to secure at first hand the materials for a history of their operations. The book is illustrated with almost two hundred photographs and is generously provided with approximately fifty maps, many of them fold-outs, and appropriate tables and charts.
