description: The Old Breed is considered one of the finest division histories ever produced for an American unit. Comprehensive in its coverage, the history traces the First Marine Division from its activations in February 1941 through training in the U.S. to initial combat on Guadalcanal. After a lengthy account of savage fighting on Guadalcanal, the book covers Cape Gloucester (New Britain), Peleliu, Okinawa and, finally, duty in North China.
