From the New York Times bestselling author of Spearhead and A Higher Call comes an unflinching, brutal, and relentless f irsthand chronicle of United States Marine Corps' actions in the Pacific during World War II. Following fifteen Marines from the Pearl Harbor attack, through battles with the Japanese, to their return home after V-J Day, Adam Makos and Marcus Brotherton have compiled an oral history of the Pacific War in the words of the men who fought on the front lines.
