<em class='bbc'>Last Man Standing</em> by Dick Camp about the 1st US Marine Regiment on Peleliu. Frustrating in two respects:
1. The narrative gets broken up with sidebars that are planted smack-dab in the middle of the text. Really hurts the flow of the narrative.
2. No maps! There are photos of two smaller sit-rep maps but no maps of the island, the attack plan or daily dispositions. I had to go to two other sources to figure out exactly what was being described.
