Two Good reads from US Naval Institute

Have not read these before myself. May be something new to
others. Thought they were interesting.
Tarawa Proceedings by Julian Smith: (NOTE : This one doesn't
allow non subscribers to read. It did for me but then stopped.
Good read. Came to really appreciate Julian Smith's sense of
things).

Shoup was cut from a different cloth...that's for sure. I could
actually get at the other article's link by Julian Smith today.
Don't understand. Hit and miss. It's a good read too....
