Summary: "Cape Gloucester: The Green Inferno" by Bernard C. Nalty is a historical account written in the late 20th century. The work narrates the experiences of the 1st Marine Division during its campaign at Cape Gloucester in New Britain during World War II. Through vivid descriptions and detailed recounting of events, the book illustrates the harsh conditions and intense battles faced by the Marines as they sought to capture strategic airfields from Japanese forces. At the start of the narrative, readers are thrust into the early morning of December 26, 1943, as Marines prepared for the day’s assault on the Yellow Beaches. With the support of naval gunfire and airstrikes, the ground forces land amidst heavy artillery, aiming to establish a beachhead and secure the airfields pivotal for further operations. The opening pages detail the intense bombardment, the arrival of different battalions, and the chaotic environment of combat, including the challenging terrain and weather conditions that the Marines had to navigate. As skirmishes with the enemy troops begin, the text sets the stage for a brutal and fierce struggle against nature and enemy fire, highlighting the courage and resilience of the soldiers involved.
