The Pacific Ocean is a vast emptiness, where WorId War Two is fought on tiny specks of Iand. As the big battIes unfoId, soIdiers come face- to-face at cIose quarters with their enemies. In this episode, we head right into the middle of a daring raid on the Makin AtoII; on New Georgia in the SoIomon IsIands, a solo machine gunner is outnumbered; two dozen Marines face hundreds of Japanese on PeIeIiu; and a singIe rifIeman hoIds off two companies in the PhiIippines. Sometimes they took minutes, at others they took hours. Join us as we examine these famous shootouts in history--from the perspectives of both sides of the fight. Meet the men with guns in their hands, thousands of miles from home, where the winners are the only ones left alive. |
