Beschreibung

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With unprecedented access to the veterans, rare photographs, and unpublished memoirs, Voices of the Pacific presents true stories of heroism as told by such World War II veterans as Sid Phillips, R. V. Burgin, and Chuck Tatum-whose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

Über den Autor

Hailed as “a masterful storyteller” by the Associated Press, Adam Makos is the author of the New York Times bestsellers A Higher Call, Spearhead, and Devotion, the subject of the major motion picture. Inspired by his grandfathers’ service, Makos chronicles the stories of American veterans in his trademark fusion of intense human drama and fast-paced military action, securing his place “in the top ranks of military writers,” according to the Los Angeles Times. In the course of his research, Makos has flown a World War II bomber, accompanied a Special Forces raid in Iraq, and journeyed into North Korea in search of an MIA American airman.

Marcus Brotherton is a journalist and professional writer known for his collaborations with high-profile public figures, humanitarians, inspirational leaders, and military veterans. He has authored or coauthored more than twenty-five books including We Who Are Alive and Remain, A Company of Heroes, Shifty's War, and Call of Duty.

Zusammenfassung

OUTSTANDING TRACK: Adam Makos's latest, Spearhead, was a New York Times bestseller for six weeks, and his debut, A Higher Call, was a sensation, spending nineteen weeks on the list.

PROVEN IN HARDCOVER: A Higher Call continues to sell in hardcover, some eight years after its initial publication.

TIRELESS PROMOTER: Makos's success is owed to his outstanding media connections, which has allowed him to discuss his work on NPR, ABC, CBS, Fox News, as well as in the pages of USA Today and the Wall Street Journal.
