"As Japan's military leaders pored over their situation reports in 1943, U.S. amphiious forces were embarking on a central Pacific island-hopping campaign which would lead ultimately to Tokyo and victory. |
| NOTES: |
Much of that campaign had been accurately predicted more than 20 years earlier by a brilliant Marine Corps planner and strategist. Alas, Earl Hancock Ellis did not live to see the fullfillment of his prophesies, for his geniues was snuffed out and his mysterious, premature death foreordained as, day by dreary day, his tortured mind and body responded less and less to his coomands." |
