While the US Marine Corps was one of the smallest of American armed services in World War II, its contribution to the final victory cannot be overstated. The US Marine Corps may have only comprised 5 percent of America's armed forces, but it suffered 10 percent of all World War II combat casualties. Above all, he amphibious nature of the war in the Pacific imposed on the Marine Corps greater tasks than any it had ever before been called upon to perform. This title details the organization, weapons and equipment of the US Marines of World War II.

Le volume que l'on peut feuilleter, n'est PAS celui que j'ai reçu. L'impression des textes et la qualité des illustrations est lamentable. La plupart des dessins disparaissent sur le blanc du fond!!! En page 24, on dirait la femme invisible puisque les mains et les visages sont blancs!
Les (la) seule illustration couleur de bonne qualité est celle de la couverture! Osprey m'avait habitué à tellement mieux, que je me suis pas méfié...
