I enjoy reading anything I can about Saipan in the Mariana Islands. My grandfather was a BAR man apart of the marines 2nd division. He died when I was about 10 and he never liked to talk much about it. So anytime I can learn something about Saipan I jump at the chance. If anyone has any recommendations for any books about the 2nd marines on Saipan I would greatly appreciate it.
