Product Information

Chronicling the United States Marine Corps' actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations, Voices of the Pacific presents the true stories of heroism and honor as told by such World War II veterans as Sid Phillips, R.V. Burgin, and Chuck Tatum - whose exploits were featured in the HBO® mini-series, The Pacific - and their Marine buddies from the legendary 1st Marine Division. Following fifteen Marines from the Pearl Harbor attack and intense boot camp training through battles with the Japanese on Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, 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 unflinching honesty, 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 With unprecedented access to the veterans, never-before-seen photographs, and unpublished memoirs, Makos and Brotherton have forged Voices of the Pacific into an incredible historic record of American bravery and sacrifice. 'Like a Higgins landing craft, Voices of the Pacific rumbles to our literary shores without pretense to deliver first-person accounts of war with the same gut-level realism as the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan .' Bob Welch, author or Resolve 'An impressive array of personal stories from the nightmarish fights on islands such as Guadalcanal, Peleliu, and two Jima, all delivered in a simple, poignant narrative that readers will adore.' Ian Gardner, author of Tonight We Die as Men

    Great Book, Great Personal Stories

    This book provides a front line view of the battles against the Japanese. It tells what history leaves out about the atrocities committed by the Japanese and how this built a hatred in the Marines and soldiers that fought them. Personal accounts are always more interesting rather than an overview often provided by the generals in charge. I highly recommend this book and I bought it as I had read another by the same author and was not disappointed.

    History, Reality and Human interest.

    This author has three other historical books in print Good personal interviews with those in the battles and action. Very well written and timely as those involved will soon be gone along with their stories. We need to know what real war is like not the computer games.

    Telling it like it was

    Great first-hand accounts of the day-to-day happenings. Observations of the action by the men that were actual participants. The book is written in a series of individual observations by different Marines and gives day-to-day perspectives of how and what the Marines felt and saw. Great book and hard to put it down when you just want to read it cover to cover.

    Perfect for this book.

    Best book I've ever read about the military and the Pacific and the characters who do the talking. Mostly the ones in the movie The Pacific but in their own words, brilliant.
