Tarawa
7 pp · war

When U.S. Marines assault the heavily fortified Japanese-held atoll of Tarawa in November 1943, they face far tougher resistance than expected—stranded on the reef by an unexpected tide, they must wade through withering fire to establish a precarious beachhead. Over the following days, the Marines push inland using tanks, flame throwers, and supporting naval and air power to overcome entrenched Japanese positions and expand their hold on the strategically vital island. This story documents one of the bloodiest and most pivotal battles in Marine Corps history, capturing both the raw courage of the men fighting and the brutal machinery of amphibious warfare.

Japan's First Victim

The Crimson Cape
6 pp · war

When American forces storm ashore at Cape Gloucester on December 26, 1943, United States Marines push through swampy jungle toward the enemy's vital airstrips, battling Japanese defenders across rivers, through dense terrain, and up the murderous slopes of Hill 660. Following the real historical campaign in the Southwest Pacific, this wartime story captures the grit and camaraderie of the Marines as they fight to secure the cape and break Japan's hold on New Britain Island.

Captains Courageous
3 pp · war

During the critical Battle of Midway in June 1942, Marine scout bombers led by Major Lofton R. Henderson engage a massive Japanese fleet in a desperate bid to disable enemy carriers, with Major Benjamin W. Norris and Captain Richard Fleming flying subsequent attacks against the Japanese warships. This story honors the courageous leadership and ultimate sacrifice of these Marine officers, whose example inspired the enlisted men they commanded and whose legacy endures in the annals of the Corps.
