Kolakowski, ChristopherTENTH ARMY COMMANDER: The World War II Diary of Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr. Diary of Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr., who commanded US forces in Alaska and the 10th Army during the Battle of Okinawa. Covers the period from January 1, 1944 to June 17, 1945, which has never been fully published until now. Buckner made notes every day, often in great detail; his chief of staff thought Buckner wanted to write a memoir after the war, but the papers were scattered after his death. In addition to the Okinawa material, Buckner's diaries discuss his departure from Alaska and service in Hawaii as Tenth Army commander. Topics include his daily life in wartime Hawaii, troop training, comments on war events, gossip, notes on his travels to Guam and the Philippines, and his role in the Smith vs Smith controversy after the Battle of Saipan. The diary text is augmented by letters from General Buckner to his wife Adele during March to June 1945, and a letter from the Tenth Army Chief of Staff to Adele detailing Buckner's death. Contains 50 maps and photographs.1 vol, 240 pgs 2024 US, CASEMATE NEW-dj, available late February 2024 ......$35.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our WWII
