War In The South Pacific: Out In The Boondocks, U.S. Marines Tell Their Stories

War in the South Pacific: U.S. Marines Tell Their Stories, first published in 1943, is the account of the combat experiences of 21 Marines—told in their own words—fighting in the bloody Solomon Islands campaigns of World War II (including the islands of Guadalcanal, Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanambogo). The stories provide the reader with an intimate view of war at the frontlines (on the ground or in the sky as a Marine aviator), with the Marines facing a determined enemy who would die rather than surrender. The stories of these brave young men vividly portray the horrors of war as well as serve as a lasting reminder of the heroism displayed by these men.

These men who lived and fought World War II in the Pacific were what was called The Greatest Generation. They fought the war because they knew that was their job. They didn't complain because that was their job, and tud

True Heroes. Reading their accounts of combat it's just hard to imagine how they survived. As one Army General said "When your in combat and all has failed and you look over and see a Marine with his rifle you know you sill have a chance" That's how much respect the other services have for Marines.

Written in their own words, these wonderful short stories describe the bitter fighting the Marines encountered during the early days of the Pacific campaign. Certain names, places are deleted by the wartime censors. A must read for WW2 fans. Highly recommended
