From the bestselling author of A Higher Call and Spearhead, an unflinching firsthand chronicle of US Marine combat vets who fought on Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and in other pivotal battles during the Pacific War, revised with new stories and photographs Following fifteen Marines from Pearl Harbor, 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. With vivid, unforgettable detail, these Marines reveal harrowing accounts of combat with an implacable enemy, the friendships and camaraderie they found-and lost-and the aftermath of the war's impact on their lives. With unprecedented access to the veterans, rare photographs, and unpublished memoirs, Voices of the Pacific presents true stories of heroism as told by such World War II veterans as Sid Phillips, R. V. Burgin, and Chuck Tatum-whose exploits were featured in the HBO miniseries The Pacific-and their Marine buddies from the legendary 1st Marine Division. Story Locale: Pacific War Theater
