– ABSOLUT NYSKICK, oläst! –– An excellent and graphic account of the fortunes and misfortunes of the 1st Marine division. / "I enjoyed this concise review of the history US Marine First Division, aka 'The Old Breed.' While the book concentrates on
its WWII service at Guadalcanal, Pelelieu, and Okinawa, there is a brief section covering Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and Somalia.
There are sections on the people and the insignia, clothing, and equipment used during WWII. If you are a collector, history
buff, or re-enactor, this volume 8 of the Spearhead series will be of interest." / The new Spearhead series is designed to look at the cutting edge of war, dealing with units capable of operating completely independently in the forefront of battle. Each volume in the series examines the chosen unit's origins and history, its organisation and order of battle, its battle history theatre by theatre, its insignia and its markings. Also covered are biographies of the most important commanders of each unit. Each title ends with an assessment of unit effectiveness - as seen by the unit itself, by its opponents and the light of more recent historical research. The books also include a detailed reference section with a critical bibliography, a listing of relevant museums and web sites, information about re-enactment groups and memorials. –– GLÖM INTE ATT TITTA PÅ ALLA MINA ANDRA BÖCKER! –– Samma fraktpris oavsett hur många böcker du beställer!
