This text juxtaposes the battle diaries of two very different generals who both fought at the Battle of Okinawa: Lieutenant General Buckner, a by-the-numbers man who favored the use of artillery and tanks to reduce entrenched positions, and General Stilwell, a prickly outsider who preferred maneuver to set-piece battles.
