Publisher's Synopsis
"South Carolina servicemen made an exceptional and early contribution in World War II, when in February 1942 a group of them, all products of the state's four pre-war ROTC programs, were assigned to the 32nd 'Red Arrow' Infantry Division (Michigan-Wisconsin National Guard). In this odd and expedient pairing, and in one of the earliest infantry units to head overseas after the Pearl Harbor attack, they participated in the first offensive waged in the Pacific Theater under General Douglas MacArthur's command"--.
