Excellent stuff.....I'm glade you mentioned "The Ghost Mountain Boys" as I am in the middle of reading that book; which I am finding good.....no mention of the Battle Of Okinawa? My first two books on WW2 I read were that subject, "Typhoon of Steel: Battle of Okinawa." and E B Sledges memoirs, (Mostly I read them because I lived on Okinawa for two years, military brat that I was.....and it got me into WW2 History and haven't regreted it)....I also read the Jove War Book of the Battle of Buna....anyway, excellent books, I have or read a few of them mentioned....
Iwo has my attention more than Okinawa as far as the land battle goes. I tend to focus on the kamikaze effort at Okinawa. I have one awful book called Bloody Buna by Lida Mayo put out by of all imprints.... Playboy Paperbacks. I've had it forever. It was a really tough haul for just 200 pages. And yet, I've kept it for the reason that Buna is an obscure moment in the war.
