Description

Impressive collection of over 160 original United States Marine Corps photos documenting the Pacific Theater of World War II and the American war effort against the Empire of Japan, with the images captured from a soldier's perspective in the tropical regions of Saipan, Tinian, and Tarawa, and across the Japanese battlegrounds of Naha, Iheya, and Okinawa. Most photos feature image text captions and photo identification codes to the lower border, with other examples annotated in white lettering inherent to the original print. These definitive photos, all glossy and approximately 5 x 4, offer a broad scope of dynamic wartime imagery that ranges from moments of kindness and camaraderie to scenes of despair and devastation. Some duplicates are included. In overall fine condition.
