Synopsis
The Sixth Marine Division holds a unique place in U.S. Marine Corps history, because it was retired after one great battle. The division was formed on Guadalcanal in September 1944, its ranks, filled with battle-hardened veterans and untested replacement troops. The Sixth Division fought its only action on the island of Okinawa from April to June 1945 but entered the fight with more combat experience overall than any other Marine division in its initial battle. It disappointed no one. The Okinawa Campaign involved eight Army and Marine division, but the Sixth captured most of the ground in some of the bloodiest fighting of the war. Weeks later, atomic attacks on two Japanese cities in early August 1945 swiftly ended the war."Before Hiroshima there was Okinawa. Because of Okinawa, in considerable part there was Hiroshima," wrote one reporter. With the invasion of Japan Canceled, the Sixth Division went to China on occupation duty and, on I April 1946, was recognized out of existence. As it was created overseas, so was it disbanded. This book tells the story of these Marines in their own words. Historian Laura Lacey--a Marine family member who has lived on Okinawa--sympathetically portrays the men who in 1945 fought a tremendous battle that she contends has not received its full share of attention from historians. Lacey considers the gritty details of close quarters combat and consider the myriad physical and physchological wounds that war wreaks. With Marines now engaged in a tough fight in Iraq. Lacey's book reminds us that whether or not a war is popular, war is indeed hell., The Sixth Marine Division holds a unique place in U.S. Marine Corps history because it was retired after one great battle--from April to June 1945 on the island of Okinawa. Incorporating excerpts from interviews with 40 members of the Sixth Division, Lacey presents an account of their 82 days on Okinawa which also tells a story of the Marines' war

    Book in perfect new condition/appearance and a great value at this price; the packaging was of the usual thoughtful protective sort that I've come to expect from this seller; and the shipping was super-duper fast, again, as always. I've purchased many books from this seller and have never been less than thrilled with any of them. Thanks again, fine Gardner folks!

    The Folio book I have been looking for for years arrived yesterday! It was beautifully packaged and is in perfect condition. The seller kept me informed and updated on each step of the sale and the book arrives sooner than expected. I will definitely be back to check Gardner’s Used Books for other fine books as I am updating my entire library to hardback, well made books. The price was reasonable compared with other sellers too! Happy customer here!
