Peleliu 1944: The forgotten corner of hell: Campaign

Autor Jim Moran, Gordon L. Rottman Ilustrat de Howard Gerrard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 noi 2002
A highly-illustrated examination of the controversial battle for Peleliu.

Equalling Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa in scale and ferocity, Peleliu has long been regarded as the Pacific War's "forgotten battle", and perhaps one that should never have been fought. A massive carrier-based attack some weeks before the invasion destroyed all aircraft and shipping in the area and virtually isolated the Japanese garrison. 1st Marine Division commander, General Rupertus, made extravagant claims that the capture of Peleliu would "only take three days - maybe two." But the Japanese fought a bloody battle of attrition from prepared positions and, in a struggle of unprecedented savagery, a whole Marine Division was bled white.
