Jimmi HRS's rating of the film With the Marines at Tarawa
Jimmi HRS

A truly important historical film with uncensored footage of America's first successful amphibious assault during WWII on the Japanese. The film had to be approved personally by President Roosevelt as it was thought to be too graphic for the public's eyes.
