The Iron Graves of Saipan: Firsthand Accounts of the Japanese 9th Tank Regiment from Manchuria to the Mariana Islands

Follow the men of the Japanese 9th Tank Regiment. The tankers' story begins with training, chow halls, talent shows, pranks, and USO shows on the Manchurian border. But their journey ends in the brutal battles of the Mariana Islands. Through their own voices, you'll experience firsthand the chaos of combat, the fight for survival in the jungle, and the reality of the POW camps for the 4% who survived.

Decades later, a mysterious "haunted" tank revealed two long-buried machines-and one survivor's mission to bring them, and the spirits of their crews, home to Japan.

A gripping true story of brotherhood, sacrifice, and the ghosts of war.

This work is based on interviews with surviving Japanese and American veterans, letters & postcards written during the war, the 9th Tank Regiment's unit history, and research conducted in Japan, Saipan, Guam, and in the US.

Enjoy never-before-published maps, photos, and information.
