This is an innovative approach to military history which specifically links battlefield dynamics of the Pacific War to cultural, social and institutional myth among US marines of the First Division. Although it has elements of each, the book is neither a detailed campaign history nor a traditional unit history. It moves in roughly chronological order, but it is organized thematically to explore how myth and imagination shaped the marines actions. It blends a humanistic approach of letting the actors speak for themselves in letters and memoirs with insights from the social sciences.
