The different national tank doctrines of the United States and
Imperial Japan resulted in a terrible mismatch of the predominant
tank types in the crucial Central Pacific campaign. A flawed
Japanese doctrine emphasized light infantry support tanks, often
used in small numbers. Tactically, tanks were often frittered away
in armored versions of the familiar banzai attacks. Meanwhile, the
Americans saw the tank as an infantry support weapon, but developed
a more systematic tactical doctrine. They settled upon a larger
medium tank - in the case of most Marine Corps tank battalions, the
diesel-powered M4A2 (unwanted by the US Army). This superbly
detailed title reveals how both the two sides' tactical and
technical differences in the approach to armored warfare soon
became apparent over a series of deadly engagements, from the first
tank fight at the battle of Tarawa in November 1943, through to
engagements on Parry Island, Saipan, and Guam, before ending with
Peleliu in September 1944.
