Okinawa The Last Battle of World War II

"Here Leckie is returning to familiar ground both figuratively and literally, for he fought with the Marines in the Pacific in that war, and his unit was among those that invaded Okinawa....Leckie's smooth narrative deals with all aspects of the Okinawa battle from preparation through the landings, the vicious ground fighting, and the fierce action at sea as Japanese kamikaze planes and ships try to interfere with the invasion. Though other books have done this in greater detail, Leckie's style adds some nice touches, including autobiographical flashbacks that go back as far as Guadalcanal."Leckie, Robert is the author of 'Okinawa The Last Battle of World War II' with ISBN 9780140173895 and ISBN 0140173897.
