Read Now Download Now
In this powerful memoir, America's preeminent biographer-historian, who's written so brilliantly about WWII in his acclaimed lives of General Douglas MacArthur (American Caesar) & Winston Churchill (The Last Lion), looks back at his own early life & offers a 1sthand account of WWII in the Pacific, of what it looked like, sounded like, smelled like & what it felt like to one who underwent all but the ultimate of its experiences.
Dedication
Illustrations
Blood that never dried
The wind-grieved ghost
From the Argonne to Pearl Harbor
Arizona, I remember you
Ghastly remnants of its last gaunt garrison
The rim of darkness
The raggedy ass marines
The canal
Les braves gens
We are living very fast
I will lay me down for to bleed a while...
...Then I'll rise & fight with you again
