Despite the bloody fighting and severe casualties on both sides, the Japanese defeat was assured from the start. Overwhelming American superiority in arms and numbers as well as complete control of air power, coupled with the impossibility of Japanese retreat or reinforcement, permitted no plausible circumstance in which the Americans could have lost the battle.

But, was the Battle worth it? Debbie Riddle says “most definitely!”
