In this episode, Shootouts takes us right into the middle of a daring raid on the Makin Atoll… a solo machine gunner outnumbered on New Georgia in the Solomons… two dozen Marines against hundreds of Japanese on Peleliu… and a single rifleman who held off two companies in the Philippines. Sometimes they took minutes, at others they took hours. Join us as we examine these famous shootouts in history–from the perspectives of both sides of the fight. Meet the men with guns in their hands, thousands of miles from home, where the winners of the Shootouts… are the only ones left alive.
