Aprašymas

MajGen D. M. Twomey once described this book as the finest work ever produced on the theory and practice of amphibious war in the Pacific. Now available through a reprinting by the Marine Corps Association, it should be in the personal library of every Marine officer.

The authors, then Princeton professors, undertook the work shortly after World War II when a great deal of firsthand research material was available, and then only after the Commandant of the Marine Corps agreed he "will have no competence to alter or modify the findings of the authors or the conclusions reached in the study." The result is a superb, scientific analysis of the doctrines and techniques of amphibious war in the Pacific; an unbiased, scholarly, and fascinating history of Pacific operations in World War II.

The reader cannot help but be impressed with the zeal with which participants, both Navy and Marine, identified flaws in their performance and quickly developed far-reaching remedies.
