Currently reading The Amphibians Came to Conquer: The Story of Richmond Kelly Turner - Volume II by George C. Dyer.
Very interesting read - currently reading chapter 23 about Iwo Jima. Both volumes are more than a simple biography of one man, as one can also learn a lot about how amphibian operations in the Pacific were planned and conducted by the US Navy.
If one doesn't like huge paperbacks, it's available for free to read online;
