Troopship Australia, May 25, 1898. - Fading away in the blue mist far astern the green-clad cliffs of the Golden Gate die out of sight in the closing day. Ahead, just off the starboard bow, the Farallones rise dim and blue in the dying light. Already their wheeling flashlight throws its friendly beam out to welcome and to warn us. Beyond them the sky line and the broad Pacific, on whose long-backed swells the trooper is already heaving and rolling in a fashion that makes the land-trained passengers take warning of the fate that is before them. The Australia is in the lead. Behind lumbers the big City of Peking, with the First California and the naval detachment aboard. Still further behind the slow-going City of Sydney rolls along. Aboard her are three companies of the Oregon regiment, for whom there was not room on the Australia, and three companies of the Fourteenth Regular Infantry, just down from Alaska, where they were part of the command of Colonel Thomas M. Anderson, now Brigadier-General of volunteers, and in command of this expedition. Army headquarters are on the Australia, with General Anderson, but the navy is in charge of the expedition, aud so the Peking, where Commander Gibson is in command, is the flagship of the little squadron. We are to proceed with the three ships in echelon, the Peking leading, the Australia off her port quarter, and the Sydney on the Australia's port quarter. So now as we pass the barallones the Australia slows down for her comrades to take position. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The narrative moves smoothly and crisply. There is effective treatment of strategy, preparations, and then the invasion and battle for Saipan itself.” —Spencer C. Tucker, author of American Revolution In June 1944 the attention of the nation was riveted on events unfolding in France. But in the Pacific, the Battle of Saipan was of extreme strategic importance. This is a gripping account of one of the most dramatic engagements of World War II. The conquest of Saipan and the neighboring island of Tinian was a turning point in the war in the Pacific as it made the American victory against Japan inevitable. Until this battle, the Japanese continued to believe that success in the war remained possible. While Japan had suffered serious setbacks as early as the Battle of Midway in 1942, Saipan was part of her inner defense line, so victory was essential. The American victory at Saipan forced Japan to begin considering the reality of defeat. For the Americans, the capture of Saipan meant secure air bases for the new B-29s that were now within striking distance of all Japanese cities, including Tokyo. “Harold Goldberg’s riveting story of this conflict brings the dead back to life by blending rigorous research with dramatic narratives by hundreds of survivors. He has written a superb account of a pivotal, little-known, and heart-breaking battle.” —Col. Joseph H. Alexander, USMC (ret.),author of Storm Landings “Using recent interviews he conducted with extant US veterans, [Goldberg] skillfully develops the soldiers’ view of the battle for Saipan in an engaging, clearly written and interesting volume.” —The Journal of Military History
