    About this ebook

    "Not only a just appraisal of the campaigns waged by Marines in World War II; it is a documentation of the Marine struggle to prove the feasibility of amphibious warfare.... Relentlessly accurate and impartial." —N.Y. Times.

    Originally published in 1951.

    Jeter A. Isely

    Jeter Allen Isely was born on 4 November 1913 in Morristown, Tennessee. He studied at the United States Naval Academy from 1935 to 1937, and graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1937. Isely then went on to receive his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Princeton in 1939 and 1941, respectively. His Ph.D. thesis was titled “Horace Greeley, Apostle of Social Democracy, 1853-1861.” After instructing in Princeton’s History Department for a year, Isely entered the Navy in 1942 and taught at the Naval Academy and the Naval War College during World War II. In 1946 he returned to teaching at Princeton, became an assistant professor of History in 1947, and then an associate professor from 1951 until his death of a heart attack in 1954. Dr. Philip Axton Crowl (1914-1991), a decorated former WWII lieutenant commander in the Navy, was an expert on military history. Born in Dayton, Ohio, he was a graduate of Swarthmore College, undertook graduate work at Yale University and the University of Iowa, and earned his doctorate at the Johns Hopkins University. In the 1950s, he served as an intelligence officer in the State Department. He taught at Princeton and Stanford Universities and the Naval Academy and was head of the history department at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln before joining the war college faculty in Newport, R.I. in 1973. He retired in 1980 and died in 1991.
