SHOTS FIRED IN ANGER by LT.COL. John George. 1981 reprint by the N.R.A.
This is an excellent book on the war in the Pacific,from a Rifleman's point of view. The author who was on the the Illinois State Rifle team before the war takes you on a journey through Basic training, Guadalcanal and finally into Burma.
In the middle of the book He describes both U.S. and Japaneseicon small arms and equipment. He gives a good honest overview of what works and what did not.
The book also does not turn into one of those "There I was..." books where if it wasn't for the the author the war would have been lost.
If you are looking for a great book about the Army in the Pacific this is it.
I believe it is out of print so look on line or better yet your local used bookstore. Andy
