An on-the-spot history of a fight in the Pacific during World War
II, "Island Victory" was the first battle history written by
then-Lieutenant Colonel S. L. A. Marshall, a veteran of World War I
who would serve in Korea and Vietnam and become a brigadier general
in the process. After the Seventh Infantry Division drove across
Kwajalein Atoll in the first days of February 1944, successfully
wresting control of the strategic southern tip from the Japanese,
Marshall was charged with producing an accurate and comprehensive
account of the fight. His solution: bring the front-line soldiers
together at once and interview them as a group, tapping the
collective memory of a platoon fresh from battle. In this book,
readers get a rare, firsthand sense of all the emotions that
soldiers in combat experience. Numerous maps and photographs help
us visualize precisely what took place. A compelling work of
military history, and the first book of its kind, "Island Victory"
is itself an important chapter in the history of how military
exploits are described and recorded.
