Résumé

In December 1941, Guam became the first Allied territory lost to the Japanese. Therefore, its recapture was both politically and psychologically of great importance. This book examines the campaign mounted by the US Marines, Army and Navy in their successful, if bloody, operation to recapture the state.

Guam 1941 & 1944 Résumé

Guam 1941 & 1944: Loss and Reconquest Gordon L. Rottman

This volume covers the Japanese seizure of the island of Guam in December 1941 and its American recapture by amphibious assault in July-August 1944. Guam was the first Allied territory lost to the Japanese, making its recapture politically and psychologically important. The American invasion in 1944 was the second two-division amphibious assault ever conducted, and this book details the 26-day struggle to recapture the island - one of the most costly battles that the US Marine Corps had so far undertaken.
