Hough, Frank O: Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal.v1.31 Jan 2013
The History of U.S. Marine Corps Operations in World War II - Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal relates the history of the U. S. Marine Corps in the early days of World War II. This is volume 1 of a 5 part series of books regarding the role of the Marines in World War II.
It tells of the readiness of Japan for war and the nearly total lack of preparedness of the part of the United States. The book is illustrated with maps and photos.

They are Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal, Isolation of Rabaul, Central Pacific Drive, Western Pacific Operations and Victory and Occupation.
Those are the subtitles which I used in lieu of History of U.S. Marine Corps Operations in World War II Volume I-V. Last edited by mrmikel; 02-16-2013 at 07:44 AM. Reason: Corrects Isolation on Rabaul to the correct on Rabaul |

New update for this book. Corrects image errors and replaces many maps with larger ones. Corrects extra periods and lack of capitalization.

Thanks a *lot*
Hi! I just wanted to say thank you *very* much for the cool ePub! It means a lot! I love military history, being a former Marine, and it's SO hard to find ePub books on WW2 history online. Until I found this site and you! Thanks again
