Özet

On September 15, 1944, the United States invaded the tiny Pacific island of Peleliu, located at the Southern end of the Palau Islands. Boasting a large airfield from which the Americans could mount bomber campaigns, Peleliu was a strategically essential part of Gen. MacArthur's long-awaited liberation of the Philippines. With the famed 1st Marine Division making the amphibious assault, Pacific High Command was confident that victory would be theirs in just a few days.

They were drastically wrong. A mere week after landing, having sustained terrific losses in fierce combat, the 1st Marine Regiment was withdrawn. The entire division would be out of action for six months after sustaining the highest unit losses in Marine Corps history.

This audiobook analyzes the many things that went wrong in the Battle for Peleliu and in doing so corrects several earlier accounts of the campaign. It includes a comprehensive account of the presidential summit that determined the operation, details of how new weapons were deployed, a new enemy strategy, and command failure in what became the most controversial amphibious operation in the Pacific during WWII.

I really enjoyed listening to this - it is very thorough and detailed. I also liked the narration - I personally prefer narrators who are fairly even and don’t “over-emote”; whilst that kind of “enthusiastic” style may be fine for Harry Potter, I don’t want someone to push me towards certain emotions just because that’s what they happen to be feeling/think we should all be feeling. I did find my interest waning a little at the end - the final part is a detailed analysis which was actually very interesting, but I got a bit jaded with the length of it (it’s probably just me - I often do this at the end of books).

Very enjoyable
