• Sommario/riassunto: The Capture of Makin is a detailed account of the United States Army's role in the military operations during the invasion of the Gilbert Islands in November 1943, a key campaign in the Central Pacific during World War II. The book chronicles the planning, execution, and aftermath of the assault on Makin Atoll, providing insights into the tactical strategies employed by the U.S. forces, including the Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard. It highlights the coordination and teamwork necessary for success in such operations, as well as the challenges faced by the soldiers. Compiled from military records and on-site interviews, the narrative serves as a prelude to a broader history of World War II, offering both a commemoration of the soldiers' sacrifices and a military study for historians and military personnel.
