Description

"Other than official histories that are now long out of print, this is the only full-scale account of the liberations of the island of Guam in 1944. Gailey's account is balanced, giving credit to the Japanese where it is due and not overlooking blunders, fatuous optimism, and poor leadership by the Americans. The narrative is adequately detailed for the serious military buff or scholar but is also clearly written and accessible to the general reader. Superior." - ALA Booklist
