Oscar E. Gilbert was a U.S. Marine Corps artilleryman and instructor, and retired after a thirty-eight year career in government service, university teaching, and international petroleum exploration. He is the author of numerous books on military history. Romain V. Cansière is a native of southern France, interested in the U. S. Marine Corps since his teenage years. His current historical research is on the Marine Corps in World War I.
It is a very enjoyable read, the style is plain but energetic, and
the battle scenes are very clear. As a battle study, the work is a
great success, providing a detailed account of the company’s
successes and failures on Tarawa. As a unit history, the work
provides an excellent mix of personal anecdote and organizational
data.
