When the 1st Marine Division began its invasion of Peleliu in September 1944, the operation in the South Pacific was to take but four days.

Bobby Blair and John Peter DeCioccio tell the story of this campaign through the eyes of the 81st Infantry.

The first book to address specific connections between the Boer War and the opening months of World War I, Spencer Jones's fresh interpretation adds to the historiography of both wars by emphasizing the continuity between them.

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was a mostly Japanese American unit consisting of soldiers drafted before Pearl Harbor, volunteers from Hawaii, and even recruits from relocation centres.
