Seller's Description:
Vg in creased d/w, may have prev owner's inscription. World War II-Pacific The island of Okinawa, just 350 miles from the Japanese coast, was truly the 'Gateway to Japan'. During the three month campaign by US Marine and Army units to capture this island stronghold the Japanese launched over 1, 900 Kamikaze strikes. During the operation the US military suffered some 50, 000 casualties. It was this, and the fact that assaults on the Japanese home islands would lead to even more devastating losses, that convinced the United States to scrap the invasion plans and, instead, employ the newly tested atom bomb. UL-XXXXXX. 224pp, 70 photos, maps, index.
