Call this Osprey at its most workmanlike, as Rottman crams a great deal of detail into 64 pages, but there is little narrative to speak of. This is the sort of item that you have handy if you're reading about the Pacific Theatre in World War II and want to have hard information at hand about organization and equipment. A nice touch is that Osprey saw fit to provide seven color plates illustrating typical outfits at different points in the war; one for the Marines caught in the Japanese conquest of the Philippines, and one for the combat debut of each of the six Marine divisions.

The United States Marine Corps came into its own in the Pacific Islands campaign against Japan in World War II. From Guadalcanal to Okinawa, US Marines formed the tip of the spear as Allied forces sought to push the Japanese back to their Home Islands. This fascinating study tracks the deployments of the various Marine divisions throughout the war and explains their composition, but also goes deeper, to detail the individual regiments--the focus of the Marines' identity and pride. It explains the organization of the Marine infantry regiment and its equipment, and how they developed during the war. The Marine infantryman's evolving uniforms, field equipment, and weapons are illustrated throughout using specially commissioned artwork and detailed descriptions to produce a fitting portrait of the US military's elite fighting force in the Pacific.
