Synopsis "40 Thieves on Saipan: The Elite Marine Scout-Snipers in one of Wwii'S Bloodiest Battles (World war ii Collection)"
Winner of The 2020 Best Book Award for Military History -- American Bookfest An elite platoon of Marine Scout-Snipers, Lieutenant Frank Tachovsky&;s &;40 Thieves&; were chosen for their willingness to defy rules and beat all-comers. When two Marines got into a fight, the loser ended up in the infirmary, the winner in the brig. Tachovsky wanted the winner on his team&;a brush with military law was a recommendation. These full-blooded men were trained in a ruthless array of hand-to-hand killing techniques and then thrown into the battle for Saipan&;Emperor Hirohito&;s &;Treasure&; and the bulwark of the Japanese Empire in the Pacific&;where they would wreak havoc in and around, but mostly behind, enemy lines. They witnessed inhuman atrocities; walked into an ambush after the cunning Japanese used wounded Marines as bait; endured body-punishing extremes of heat, hunger, and thirst; fought a relentless enemy who would not surrender; and watched best friends die. Now Tachovsky&;s son Joseph tells their remarkable story&;a story he didn&;t even know until after his father&;s death&;reported from an extensive documentary record, including priceless mementos his father kept, and from exhaustive interviews with survivors who served under Lieutenant &;Ski.&; This is how America won the war in the Pacific, where &;uncommon valor was a common virtue.&; 40 Thieves on Saipan: The Elite Marine Scout-Snipers in One of World War II&;s Bloodiest Battles is true history. It&;s also an adventure you don&;t want to miss.
