Washington DC: National Rifle Association, 1981. Revised and Expanded Second Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. Hideo Leith and Melissa Leith. xx, [2], 535, [3] pages. Endpaper maps. Publisher's Note. Apology. Introduction to the Second Edition. Illustrations. Minor soiling to DJ and edges. John B. George served in the Pacific and the China-Burma-India theaters and held the rank of lieutenant colonel when demobilized. George served with the 132nd Infantry Regiment/23rd Infantry Division "Americal!" on Guadalcanal and the famed Merrill's Marauders (5307th Composite Unit) in Burma. At Princeton he majored in politics, graduated with highest honors, and won the Atwater Prize in politics. Col. George spent four years at Oxford and then went to British East Africa to study for four years. He settled in Washington, D.C. as executive director of the Institute of African-American Relations. He joined the State Department?s Foreign Affairs Institute as a consultant, lecturer, and writer. Col. George also wrote articles on hunting and nonfiction adventure for magazines including The Saturday Evening Post. This is the story of the Guadalcanal campaign as only a rifleman can tell it. In Shots Fired in Anger, Lieutenant Colonel John B. George recounts his brutal experiences in frontline jungle warfare and examines the weapons, tactics, equipment, and combat mentalities that won and lost the fight. He is shocked to see that the troops have not been taught to shoot or to march, and they are commanded by men obsessed with obsolete tactics. On Guadalcanal, George leads from the front with an eye for detail, analyzing what works and what doesn't from the suicidal Japanese Banzai charge to the reliable and effective M1 Garand. The author interviews his fellow soldiers, questions prisoners, disassembles captured and borrowed weapons, and uses these strategies and implements of war on the battlefield. Few other writers have ever been able to rival George's combination of field experience and excellent storytelling. Shots Fired in Anger is one of the most important firsthand accounts to arise from WWII., National Rifle Association, 1981, 2.5<
