LINE OF DEPARTURE: TARAWA by Martin Russ; PUBLISHER: Doubleday and Company, Inc., Garden City, NY; a 1975 printing; 206 pages.
Tarawa Atoll is a tiny dot inthe Gilbert Islands of South Pacific. In November 1943 over 6,000 men died on its 291-acre plain of confined, exposed, featureless coral sand and airstrip concrete in the most memorable battle in Marine Corps history. The invasion of Tarawa was the first major American thrust into the heart of the Japanese Empire. The appalling savagery of the battle shocked and angered many Americans, some of whom called for investigation. But, as the awful totals of the dead and wounded grew from battle to battle, Tarawa was nearly fogrotten.
