Marine assault on Peleliu Island 1944 described by an officer. So well written and vivid. Focused mainly on a promontory at one end of the landing beach called the Point where Japanese artillery was emplaced in concrete bunkers to enfilade the beach. This position was having deadly effect on landing craft and George Hunt led an attacking force to destroy the strongpoint. It took many hours of savage close quarters fighting but over night, the marines reduced the fort killing its defenders.
