LANDING IN HELL: The Pyrrhic Victory of the First Marine Division on Peleliu, 1944
Underestimating the enemy, the Peleliu campaign took two and a half months instead of a few days of hard bitter fighting, and just a week after landing, having sustained terrific losses in fierce combat, Chesty Puller's 1st Marine Regiment was withdrawn.
