Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique monograph is intended to be a first effort at presenting the division's actions, operations, and contributions to victory in what was a time of national crisis and intense military activity. Written so close to the time involved, many of those source materials which ordinarily would be available to a researcher of the war are not yet returned to the Marine Corps Historical Center. What this history can do is to guide the efforts of those researchers and writers who will come later. They will be introduced to the actions and decisions which were deemed to be most important to the division at the time; they will be made familiar with the content of sources which they might otherwise have missed; most importantly, they will be able to balance what is written here against those more complete records which will be available to them, and they will be able to correct any errors of fact which may have been made.

Foreword * Preface * Initial Preparations * Movements and Training * Intelligence * The First Skirmish * Development of the Operations Plan * The Start of Offensive Operations * Into Kuwait: G Minus 1 through G Plus 1 * G Plus 2 to the Cessation of Hostilities * Epilogue * Notes * Appendix: * A. Command and Staff List * B. Task Organization, 2d Marine Division * C. List of Acronyms and Abbreviations * D. Chronology
