About this listen

A gripping account of the grim history in the battle for Peleliu and the Pacific war.

On September 14, 1944, the US 1st Marine Division landed on the island of Peleliu, one of the Palau Islands in the Pacific, as part of a larger operation to provide support for General MacArthur, who was preparing to invade the Philippines. The cost in American lives would prove historic.

Peleliu was subject to pre-invasion bombardment, but it proved of little consequence. The Japanese defenders were buried too deep in the jungle, and the target intelligence given the Americans was faulty. Upon landing, the Marines met little resistance - but that was a ploy.

This narrative recounts the story of Peleliu in vivid, gritty detail. Explore the fascinating feats of strategy, planning, and bravery, handing the Allies what would eventually become a victory over the Pacific Theater and an end to Imperialist Japanese expansion.

An interesting and well described history of a lesser known (on my side of the Atlantic) Pacific campaign battle. Has some excellent insights into the tactics of both sides, the overall strategy, conditions and struggles in what was obviously a vicious campaign, The narration is good making the book easy to listen to and involving. I received a complimentary copy from the author and am leaving a voluntary honest review

Very Good
