No previous book has been devoted to Marine Corps armor in World War II. Gilbert's gripping narrative combines exhaustive detail on Marine armor and combat with moving eyewitness accounts, never before published, of what it was actually like to be a Marine tanker in action in the Pacific.
Hard to put down. The interview approach the author employed puts the reader in the action. My only quibble is the failure of the OCR to properly render some passages, though most of these errors are not hard to decipher.
