S. L. A. Marshall

Island Victory

The Battle of Kwajalein Atoll

Buch

After the Seventh Infantry Division drove across Kwajalein Atoll in the first days of February 1944, successfully wresting control of the strategic southern tip from the Japanese, Marshall was charged with producing an accurate and comprehensive account of the fight. His solution: bring the front-line soldiers together at once and interview them as a group, tapping the collective memory of a platoon fresh from battle. Island Victory is itself an important chapter in the history of how military exploits are described and recorded.
