A Close Encounter: The Marine Landing on Tinian
This book is the account of the Battle of Tinian. It was a battle of the Pacific campaign of World War II, fought on the island of Tinian in the Mariana Islands from 24 July until 1 August 1944. The American forces eliminated the 8,000-man Japanese garrison, and the island joined Saipan and Guam as a base for the Twentieth Air Force.
David M. Shoup
"Howard Jablon delves into the life of this Marine hero whose career intersected with critical junctures in U.S. foreign relations over five decades. As Jablon contrasts Shoup's service career and bravery in battle with his vehement anti-Vietnam protests, Jablon illuminates the paradoxes that make David M. Shoup such an intriguing figure."--BOOK JACKET.
