The Final Campaign: Marines in the Victory on Okinawa

Joseph H. Alexander

Gelesen von Aaron Bennett

The three-month-long battle of Okinawa covered a 700-mile arc from
Formosa to Kyushu and involved a million combatants--Americans,
Japanese, British, and native Okinawans. With a magnitude that rivaled
the Normandy invasion the previous June, the battle of Okinawa was the
biggest and costliest single operation of the Pacific War. For each of
its 82 days of combat, the battle would claim an average of 3,000 lives
from the antagonists and the unfortunate non-combatants.” (Joseph H. Alexander) (3 hr 1 min)
