True to the title and more ...By Don BowenThis book has excellent (repeat excellent) depth of information on the Marine Corps Order of Battle; as expected from the title. It also contains very interesting lineage and background data and a wealth of related information. I would rate it excellent in these regards. Anyone with an interest in these subjects should have a copy of this book in their library.I was a little disappointed to find the Tables of Organization (T/O) data somewhat less complete. There is considerable data buried in text and higher level summary data (such as number of men and major weapons at company level) in the tables; but unfortunately the book does not contain the detailed T/O of Marine units that I had hoped for. This is especially true for pre-war and early war organizations and for ancillary units (like Engineer and Pioneer units). The Bibliography does mention that Tables of Organization are retained by the Marine Corps Historical Center in original paper format and are not complete. This would make the accumulation of complete Tables of Organization a difficult task; but perhaps Mr. Rottman and/or Mr. Frank will be able to turn their considerable research abilities to detailed T/Os in a future work.All in all an excellent work and one that I recommend very highly!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Definative for OB studyBy Thomas E. JohhnsonTerrific details regarding the USMC forces in the Pacific; in each operation. Both ground and air units including higher command and support elements covered. If you are serious about following these units; this is a must have.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A good reference book to have on the shelf.By Susan ReedIf you love a good; solid reference work on the USMC in WW2; this book fills the bill. It's right up there with Shelby Stanton's US Army Order of Battle WW2.
