Battle of Peleliu
The Battle of Peleliu, like the bloody World War II island campaigns before it, was a fight to capture an airstrip on a speck of coral in the Western Pacific. And, as with previous island battles, the Americans would prevail, but at a higher cost than anticipated, against the determined resistance of the Japanese forces.
