Description: TARAWABY CHARLES T. GREGGVERY GOOD - BOOK CLUB EDITION - HARDCOVER & DUSTJACKET This is an account of the US Marine invasion and battle for the Tarawa atoll in the Pacific during November 1943. It was the first amphibious landing against a heavily defended beach since the Gallipoli disaster in 1915. Conventional military wisdom insisted that it could not be done, and in seventy-six ghastly hours there were more than 8000 American and Japanese casualties. The assault taught the Americans many tactical lessons that helped pave the way to the fall of Japan. * * * * * * SELLERS NOTE: all of the images provided here are for the actual book being offered.
