DJ has some wear and soiling. DJ has been taped to boards and some tape remains on the DJ. This is one of the American Military History series. The author was on the faculty in the department of history at West Point. He was a 1974 graduate of West Point and also held a Master of Science degree from University of Southern California and a Master of Arts and a Ph.D. degree in history from Temple University. He was an infantry officer with airborne, ranger and air assault training and had served in a variety of command and staff assignments in the U.S. and OCONUS. He was widely published in professional and scholarly journals. This book examines Eichelberger's evolution as a combat commander in the Pacific in WW II. Eichelberger was profoundly affected by his initial combat experience at Buna in December 1942. In that battle, the Japanese had the advantage of terrain, training and morale. As a result of this experience, he devised a new training program to prepare his soldiers for battle and also developed an innovative philosophy of tactics and leadership. The author skillfully utilizes Eichelberger's personal papers to examine the successful application of the lessons learned at Buna, in all his campaigns throughout the remainder of the war. More
