    With the Marines at Tarawa



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tarawa

    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.

    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.
