Okinawa: Victory in the Pacific

Henry I. Shaw Jr.

0/5 ( ratings)

The island of Okinawa bore witness to the bloodiest ground battle of the Pacific War.

For eighty-two long days the Imperial Japanese Army and American forces clashed.

This monumental battle cost the lives of 95,000 Japanese troops and 12,510 Americans.

But what actually happened at Okinawa between April 1 and June 22, 1945?

What strategies were implemented by marine forces who undertook the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific Theater of the war?

Chas. S. Nichols Jr. and Henry I. Shaw Jr.’s account of this battle provides in depth analysis into the final major battle of the Second World War.

Their works draws upon many hours of interviews and conversations that Nichols and Shaw conducted with marines of various ranks in the weeks and months after the battle had ended.

This is the definitive history of the battle of Okinawa.
