Sobre este artículo
New York: Viking, 1995. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good/very good. x, 220 p. Illustrations. Index. A 50th anniversary re-creation of one of World War II's bloodiest battles--a triumph for America and a landmark history.

Sinopsis
Penguin delivers you to the front lines of The Pacific Theater with the real-life stories behind the HBO miniseries. Former Marine and Pacific War veteran Robert Leckie tells the story of the invasion of Okinawa, the closing battle of World War II. Leckie is a skilled military historian, mixing battle strategy and analysis with portraits of the men who fought on both sides to give the reader a complete account of the invasion. Lasting 83 days and surpassing D-Day in both troops and material used, the Battle of Okinawa was a decisive victory for the Allies, and a huge blow to Japan. In this stirring and readable account, Leckie provides a complete picture of the battle and its context in the larger war.
