Let me give you another side of the story that you've probably never heard before.In September 1944, my father, Charles N. Manhoff, was a regimental scout in H&S Company, 1st Marines, 1st MarDiv. He landed on the third wave in Peleliu where he spent the morning attached to the 2nd Battalion. In the afternoon, he made his way to the regimental CP where he spent the remainder of the battle. Since there was no role for scouts during the battle (the Japanese were never more than 300 yards away and shooting at you all day long), Puller sent most of the scouts to line units. My father, however, was assigned to be Puller's runner for the battle and spent most of his time outside the CP "tent" (actually just a poncho on sticks) standing guard. As a result, he had a view of the battle decisions that not even the battalion commanders, Honsowetz and Davis, had.According to my dad, nobody, and I mean nobody, thought charging Bloody Nose Ridge was more stupid than Puller himself. My dad heard Puller raging on the field phones to Division day after day. He on more than one occasion walked up to, and past, the line of insubordination in trying to get his Marines out of these pointless charges. He asked for reinforcements for the devastated regiment. Division said no. He asked to pull out and try an amphibious flanking maneuver just as he had done on Guadalcanal. Division said no. Dad was there when the III MAC commander, General Geiger, bypassed Division and spoke with Puller directly. He was there when Geiger countermanded Division and ordered the 81st Division to relieve the regiment.Honsowetz and Davis never saw this, according to Dad. After each rejection, Puller would hang up the phone and pass the order to commence the next day's attack without comment to his battalions. I'm sure to the poor grunts and their commanders it seemed as if Puller was out of his mind but they never saw the fight that was going between Puller and Division. Why? Because Puller was a Marine and complaints only go up, they don't go down. Puller took full responsibility, and received the unfair criticism, for the insanity going on at Division.The devastation at Bloody Nose Ridge can be, and should be, laid solely on one man's shoulders: the major general commanding the division. As for Puller, my dad said he would go with him "wherever he wanted to go."If you want to read the "fly on the tent wall" story some more, read through my Dad's memoir. They are posted (for free) at the Witness To War foundation under the title, "Magne's War." They are eye-opening.
This is by far the most raw and realistic account of Peleliu I've read, and all were bone-chilling. These guys deserved so much praise for their ability to still move forward and obey when even their top officers had lost it. Most Pacific battles were horrible, but that word is somehow too weak for Peleliu.The one thing this book does, is provide the brutally honest view of the management of the operation. It leaves me scratching my head concerning the conclusions I'd held for so many years. Really worth reading no matter how many accounts of Peleliu you've read.It's not to be read quickly. It took me far longer to read than for a normal book of this size, which seems odd given that it is a blow by blow account. But for each "blow" it gives the background of the intense, almost irrationally frenetic, need to "get it over with" that the levels of command had going on.
Let me start off by saying that I hold the USMC in high esteem. In spite of having the priviledge of having been in the US Army and coming from an "Army" family. I also think that "Chesty" Puller was one of the finest Battalion Commanders that the United States ever produced. Now comes the buts. After reading this fine book about the Battle for Peleiu. I was just appalled at the waste of one of the finest Infantry Units that served this Republic ever period.They rate in my book right up there with the "Big Red One", 82nd & 101st Airborne, The Rangers and the SF Crowd in their own way. I also think that the Upper Echleons of Command utterly failed in their duty to the troops that served there. Here is why I think so. In that the choice of Rupertus as Division Commander was to be kindly strange.(I am sure that internal Marine Corp Politics were involved) That & both he and Colonel Puller needed to be relieved because of both physical and mental problems. I think "Chesty" was basically bone tired and suffering from his wounds from the Guadalcanal Campaign. That and his other campaigns in the Solomon Islands were grounds for some serious R&R for him. (I also think that he briefly started to believe the legend that the Corp had created about him) This failure of his superiors was to cause him to not be at his best for this really tough fight. As to the General Rupertus, I really think that commanding a Marine Division in Combat was beyond him. I think that Shoup would of done a better job. Plus the man was not up to the job physically due to torn ligaments. (I myself have had that same physical problem and the Army put me on quarters so fast it made my head spin.) I also think that Greiger should of kept a closer watch on the casuality rate. I also think that Rupertus refusal to use the Army Division that had been kept in Reserve was an example of inter service rivialry at its worst. I think that he did not want the Army to claim any credit for this fight. I also think that the Navy let the 1st Marine Division down by what was probadly some piss poor naval bombardment of the island before the landing itself & during the battle. Also the allowing of poisoned drinking water to be sent the Marines is frankly beyond belief. (I do not want to hear the crap about S**T happens during wartime! There are some things that need to be done and done right everytime!!!!) Some one needed to swing on that one! As to the fight itself, as is expected the Marines lived up to their usual excellent standard. The sad thing that so many good men fought for an objective that really had no real impact on the winning of the war against the Empire of Japan. Nimitz should of listened to Halsey and bypassed the place but hindsight is always 20/20.
Detailed history of Peleliu and the battle there. The book does only cover 1st Regiment to the exclusion of the remaining Marine regiments of the First Marine Division and the 81st Army Infantry Division, and of the complete battle, but the reader will get the idea.
