Operation Stalemate by Daniel Wrinn (English) Paperback Book

Description: Operation Stalemate by Daniel Wrinn "This is the real deal, unvarnished, brutal, and a profound primer on what it was like to be in that war." -Reviewer 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 FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Details ISBN Pages 124 Language English Year 2021 ISBN-13 9798201956271 Format Paperback Publication Date 2021-05-21 UK Release Date 2021-05-21 Author Daniel Wrinn Publisher Storyteller Books, LLC Series Ww2 Pacific Military History Imprint Storyteller Books, LLC Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
