Peleliu 1944 The Forgotten Corner Of Hell Gordon L Rottman by Gordon L. Rottman instant download after payment.

Osprey's examination of one of the bloodiest conflicts between the
United States and Japan during World War II (1939-1945). Equalling
Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa in scale and ferocity, the battle for
Peleliu has long been regarded as the Pacific War's “forgotten battle”,
and perhaps one that should never have been fought. A massive
carrier-based attack some weeks before the invasion destroyed all
aircraft and shipping in the area and virtually isolated the Japanese
garrison. 1st Marine Division commander, General Rupertus, made
extravagant claims that the capture of Peleliu would “only take three
days – maybe two.” But the Japanese fought a bloody battle of attrition
from prepared positions and in a struggle of unprecedented savagery a
whole Marine Division was bled white.
