US Marines WW2 Pacific Battle Story TARAWA by Robert Sherrod, 1973 edition

Description: TARAWA the Story of a Battle by Robert Sherrod 1973 edition with commemorative sand inside the cover TARAWA the Story of a Battle was written by Robert Sherrod who was the first Time-Life correspondent assigned to the Pacific after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. First published in 1944, this 5-⅜ x 7-⅞ inch, 208-page example was published by the Admiral Nimitz Foundation of Fredericksburg TX in 1973. The book covers the story of brave United States Marines who waged a bloody campaign on Betio Island in the Tarawa Atoll in the Gilbert Islands, the most heavily fortified Japanese territory in the entire Pacific, in November 1943. It contains 12 glossy pages with period photos, a map of the islands and an extensive list of casualties. Our photos show the actual 50+ year old softcover book about the November 1943 USMC assault of Tarawa offered for sale. It is in very nice little-used condition with a small amount of sand grains inside the front cover “to remember the bravery of the men whose feet once trod them”, as shown in our second image.
