SAYONARA BUSHIDOSAYONARA BUSHIDO A Book By Joseph M. Pugliese
The United States involvement in World War 11 was the most massive military engagement ever put forth by any nation in the entire history of the world.
It was a war that increased in scope and intensity from the day of our entry on December 7,1941 until the final surrender of the Japanese on August 14,1945.
Along with our allies,we were in fact engaged in two seperate and distinct conflicts simultaneously.
This book,for the most part, is a light historical recounting of the Pacific war as it unfolded,with special emphasis on the final battle in the war with Japan.
Looking back from the vantage point of the 50th anniversary of the war's end the author calls upon his own memories and experiences as a twenty year old
non-commissioned officer in an army amphibious unit in the battle for Okinawa
as well as from sources of military history taken from the war archives in Washington D.C.
