On September 15, 1944, some 6,000 men of the First Marine Division landed on a hot, chunk of coral called Peleliu. The tiny island, a mere six miles long and two miles wide, held 10,000 Japanese defenders who had changed their tactics and literally gone underground. The Japanese fortified Peleliu with nearly 500 caves, pillboxes, and tunnels.

In this harrowing episode of "War Stories With Oliver North," you'll hear from extraordinary veterans like Everett Pope, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for storming the steep, razor-sharp, hills known as "Bloody Nose Ridge." And you'll hear the chilling account from retired four-star General Ray Davis, whose battalion suffered unprecedented 70 per cent casualties in less than a week.

Decades after the battle for Peleliu, debate continues over whether taking the island was necessary. But no one questions the courage and determination of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who seized this Japanese fortress.
