Book Description Hardcover. Condition: NF. Dust Jacket Condition: NF. Photos, Maps, Tables (illustrator). 1st. 1st. 24.5cm By 17.5cm. A highly detailed account of the invasion, battle for and occupation of Okinawa, the last major bastion of the Japanese before their home islands. Capture of the island required three months of intensive struggle by the invading American troops and last ditch defence by the desperate Japanese forces. The former suffered 50,000 casualties, providing a grim warning of the cost of invading the Japanese mainland. On the ocean combat was equally intense, with massed suicide attacks on the American and Allied ships. These factors played an important part in the decision to end the war by using Atomic weapons, but the other options are also examined here. A compelling coverage of the battle for Okinawa and the messages it delivered. 224 pages including chronology, index. B/w photos, maps, tables throughout. Red hard covers with gilt spine titles NF,ditto text block and colour pictorial DJ. Seller Inventory # 002049

Book Description (Subject: World War II - Pacific) The island of Okinawa, just 350 miles from the Japanese coast, was truly the 'Gateway to Japan'. During the three month campaign by US Marine and Army units to capture this island stronghold the Japanese launched over 1,900 Kamikaze strikes. During the operation the US military suffered some 50,000 casualties. It was this, and the fact that assaults on the Japanese home islands would lead to even more devastating losses, that convinced the United States to scrap the invasion plans and, instead, employ the newly tested atom bomb. (Published: 1986) (Publisher: Grub Street) (ISBN: 0948817038) (Pagination: 224pp, 70 photos, maps, index) (Condition: vg in creased d/w, may have prev owner's inscription.) UL-XXXXXX.
