Description: New book, 256 pages, 250+ photos. On December 7, 1941, Marines helped defend Pearl Harbor against the Japanese air attacks. On June 21, 1945, Marine Lieutenant General Roy Geiger, commanding general of the U.S. Tenth Army, which included the 1st and 6th Marine Divisions, declared Okinawa secure. Over the forty three months from Pearl Harbor through Okinawa, United States Marines etched their deeds in history by enduring and triumphing in some of the most brutal combat of World War II as they island hopped across the vast Pacific Ocean.
