Although it was the largest and final battle of the Pacific War, the Battle for Okinawa has long been overshadowed by other dramatic events in 1945. The books that have been written about it emphasise the role of infantrymen, armour, and US Marines. This work takes a fresh perspective and focuses on the vital role played by the US Army's forward artillery observers—the eyes and ears of American artillery who were among the least recognised heroes of the war.
