Guam 1941 & 1944: Loss and Reconquest (Campaign, 139) Review: Five Stars - Another very enlightening book! Review: Fairly Good Overview of these Pacific Battles - All in all, this book provides a good overview of the two battles on the island of Guam. The narrative is well organized and easy to follow. The first half of the book discusses the island's history, the military leaders, and the opposing forces. It also covers the 1941 invasion of the island by the Japanese. The coverage of this 1941 invasion, however, is somewhat brief. The second half of the book is focused on the 1944 battle where the US Marines reclaimed the island. The author, Gordon Rottman, included numerous black and white photos of the battle. These photos are appropriately placed to match up with the corresponding text. The author also included a couple of beach sketches from TF 53's Operations plan. The inclusion of these contemporary sketches adds a nice touch to the book. As with all Campaign series books, this one contains three 3D birds eye view maps and several 2D tactical maps. The 3D maps do a good job of describing certain battles. The 2D maps, however, are much more helpful. These maps are uncluttered and the landing beaches are clearly identified. The reader will find these maps useful in following the progress of the battle. In addition, the author included three full color battle scenes that are fairly informative. Another useful part is the list of abbreviations in the beginning of the book. This list will help any reader who is unfamiliar with the unique designations of some Imperial Japanese Army units, such as the IMB (Independent Mixed Brigade) or IIB (Independent Infantry Battalion). Bottom line: This book provides a fairly comprehensive overview of the 1944 Battle to retake Guam. It also gives limited information on the 1941 invasion. It is a pretty easy read that moves along quickly. The reader will definitely come away with a solid understanding of how this battle evolved. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #365,782 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #598 in Naval Military History #680 in Military Strategy History (Books) #2,425 in World War II History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (45) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 0.25 x 9.7 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1841768111 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1841768113 | | Item Weight | 11 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Campaign | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | July 25, 2004 | | Publisher | Osprey Publishing | ## Images ![Guam 1941 & 1944: Loss and Reconquest (Campaign, 139) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91JKqFJzEBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by S***S on September 20, 2016* Another very enlightening book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fairly Good Overview of these Pacific Battles *by M***H on October 18, 2011* All in all, this book provides a good overview of the two battles on the island of Guam.
