Sobre IBD

In 1942, before their mobilization to Guadalcanal, Major Carl Heinmiller of the 37th Infantry division (the Buckeye division) was stationed in Fiji with the South Pacific Scouts, also known as the Fiji Commandos. Heinmiller learned a great deal from the Scouts while helping with their training, and that experience and the knowledge he gained from them during the war stayed with him long after the war had ended. This book discusses Heinmiller’s experiences and the Commando 'type' training the Scouts and Heinmiller received.
