Book Description
Our Kind Of War Illustrated Saga of the U.S. Marine Raiders of World War II by R.G. Rosenquist, Colonel Martin J. Sexton and Robert A. Buerlein
Revised and updated with a new introduction and a complete roster of the United States Marine Corps Raiders, Hailer Publishing is proud to reintroduce this exciting history of the "Corps".
The US Marine Raiders of World War II swept down on the enemy with speed and stealth and struck with deadly effect. They were so impressive that the Japanese told their own troops the Americans had to have killed members of their families before they could qualify for this elite fighting force.
Like the British Commandos, the Raiders were designed to hit & run, keeping the enemy off balance until regular units of the Marines & Army could finish the job. To accomplish their purpose, the Raiders occasionally used submarines, rubber boats, or PT boats to make their lightning strikes on Japanese-held islands.
Much of the feel of combat is provided by stories submitted by the Raiders themselves. From their foxholes and their rubber boats, they offer a unique look at what it was like to wage war against the Japanese on the far-flung islands of the Pacific.
