Guam 1941 & 1944

Loss and Reconquest

Illustrator: Gerrard, Howard

Beschreibung

In December 1941, Guam became the first Allied territory lost to the Japanese. Therefore, its recapture was both politically and psychologically of great importance. This book examines the campaign mounted by the US Marines, Army and Navy in their successful, if bloody, operation to recapture the state.
