Post Wwii I was stationed on okinawa four years. Discovered the natives to be likeable thru a game one the very oldest I encountered allowed me to observe he and a friend spent playing. I understood it to be called "go". Simple enough that even I understood how to play, but it took me many hours of watching to begin to understand the logic involved and before I was invited to play a game. I did not learn the language, just the rules of the game. It was a fascinating experience. I was truly honored after I finally won a game. After reading "the last battle" it became obvious that the old men I was hanging out with were likely very Active participants in the Last battle. The natives today once again ,live under the Japanese flag. It is too bad because as a people they could teach us a great deal, especially about eating a diet largely of rice, fish, and vegetables.
This is the very best description of both the successes and failures of both sides during the most costly battle of the Pacific war. The Japanese had an excellent defensive plan and the determination to carry it out. The Tenth Army had to sweat and bleed for every foot of ground. This is a story of courage and determination on an epic scale. The men on both sides believed in their cause and were willing to fight and, if needed, die for it. Both Army's battled each other and at the same time the elements. The Battle for Okinawa pushed everyone involved to do things most people thought impossible. The Marines, Soldiers and Sailors were tested far beyond anything they had experienced before. This another example of why our parents and grandparents were truely "The Greatest Generation!
Interesting but a bit repetitive. It was very difficult to follow the Troop movements given the paucity and poor quality of the maps.One takeaway...this detailed recounting of the battle for Okinawa should make it clear why the US dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. Given the casualties on Okinawa it's easy to imagine 2 or 3 times the loss of life on both sides resulting from an invasion of the home islands.
I was in Okinawa 12 years after the battle, never realizing how violent it was. There was still many remains of the battles that went on. In 1996 still with the military and there again, i couldn't believe the reconstruction. I did do a battle field tour, then I realized how hard fought it was. Too bad the Atomic Bomb wasn't dropped sooner on Okinawa, many American lives would have been saved. But then this GREAT book could not have been written.
This was a long tedious read written by a career Navy man the way Navy reports are written with every detail listed out. There were so many unit numbers listed I couldn't keep up with them. I was stationed on Okinawa in the early 1970s while in the USAF and checked out as many of the battle sites as I could so I had a good idea what they were like and the areas where they were located were on the islands. That was a great help as I was reading on my Kindle which made the maps impossible to see even with a magnifying glass. One other thing, calling the high ground on Okinawa "mountains" makes most people think of the Rockies or even the Appalachians and that is not the case. The hills on Okinawa are steep with tall thick vegetation and volcanic rock that makes it extremely difficult to move through and they were honeycombed with tunnels with many many gun emplacements and sniper nest. I am surprised that the US and Allies were able to defeat the Japanese as quickly as they did.
One of those accounts prepared by the History soldiers. Some may get bogged down in it a bit because it tells it all, even includes the account of Doss and his CMH. you will gain a real appreciatieon for what the USMC and the Japaneese went through on this Island.This is written from a historical perspective of the overall battle rather than from the view of an individual unit. TOPS
I cannot imagine a better reference source for someone studying the battle of Okinawa. Hour by hour, battalion by battalion detail. In many cases company by company movements are recounted. That is actually the drawback too. It's not a read for the casual fan of WWII battles. I found it hard to stay interested when units...many units... were being moved and flanked and retreating and attacking. So if you are a scholar, dig in!
I recently read several books concerning the war in the Pacific but this one is by for the best. I doesn't go into basic training or adventures in Australia, it just tells of the heroic actions of the armed services in the battle for Okinawa. Anyone that doesn't think the dropping of the atom bomb was the right thing to do should read this book.
