FWIW I also recommend Utmost Savagery: The Three Days of Tarawa by Joseph H. Alexander and Tarawa: November 20-23, 1943: A Hell of a Way to Die by Derrick Wright.

I aim to misbehave...
Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits. - Mark Twain
I NEED A YUGO GAS TUBE AND LOWER HG FERRULE PLEASE!
"Fair" is a place they give ribbons to pigs
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon. - Napoleon Bonaparte
C'thulhu '12! Why settle for the lesser evil?
Utmost Savagery was a good book. It's about time for me to re-read it.
I gave a copy to my daughter the history buff because we had a family member KIA there.
