Book description: London: Bison Books Limited. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1979. Hardcover. 0861240383 . 192 pages, well illustrated (some in color) , cloth, DJ, very good. 9 by 12 inches. Third impression. From the introduction: The Marine Corps was not fully prepared for its greatest mission on 7 December 1941. Experience was needed and that was only gained in combat; such amphibious landings as Guadalcanal and Tarawa were far from model landings. But once a technique was learned by the Marines they never forgot it, and they did learn from experience. The history of World War II in the pacific can largely be written in terms of such Army landings as at Kwajalein and Ie Shima, or the Marine landings at Saipan, Peleliu and Iwo Jima. The US victories in North Africa and Europe were made possible by US Army landings, but the most important thing to remember is that those Army landings were based upon Fleet Marine Force doctrine.
