An elite platoon of Marine Scout-Snipers, Lieutenant Frank Tachovsky\u2019s \u201c40 Thieves\u201d were chosen for their willingness to defy rules and beat all-comers. When two Marines got into a fight, the loser ended up in the infirmary, the winner in the brig. Tachovsky wanted the winner on his team\u2014a brush with military law was a recommendation.<\/p>\n

These full-blooded men were trained in a ruthless array of hand-to-hand killing techniques and then thrown into the battle for Saipan\u2014Emperor Hirohito\u2019s \u201cTreasure\u201d and the bulwark of the Japanese Empire in the Pacific\u2014where they would wreak havoc in and around, but mostly behind, enemy lines. They witnessed inhuman atrocities; walked into an ambush after the cunning Japanese used wounded Marines as bait; endured body-punishing extremes of heat, hunger, and thirst; fought a relentless enemy who would not surrender; and watched best friends die.<\/p>\n

Now Tachovsky\u2019s son Joseph tells their remarkable story\u2014a story he didn\u2019t even know until after his father\u2019s death\u2014reported from an extensive documentary record, including priceless mementos his father kept, and from exhaustive interviews with survivors who served under Lieutenant \u201cSki.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is how America won the war in the Pacific, where \u201cuncommon valor was a common virtue.\u201d 40 Thieves on Saipan: The Elite Marine Scout-Snipers in One of World War II\u2019s Bloodiest Battles is true history. It\u2019s also an adventure you don\u2019t want to miss. <\/p>\n
