Product Information
Using the same grunt's-eye-view narrative style of Sloan's acclaimed Brotherhood of Heroes, this is the full story of the largest land-sea-air battle ever waged by the US, a battle whose staggering casualties and take-no-prisoners ferocity led Truman to drop the atomic bomb on Japan.

Reviews
"Bill Sloan's The Ultimate Battle is the Okinawa book I've been waiting for. You actually feel like you're with the GIs and Marines as they storm Japanese bastions, and on American ships as the kamikaze attacks are unleashed. A very harrowing, well written World War II classic." -- Douglas Brinkley, author of The Great Deluge and The Boys of Pointe du Hoc, " The Ultimate Battle is a compelling, immensely evocative story of one of the largest, most fiercely fought battles in American history. Here is that gigantic struggle, the defining battle of the Pacific War, seen primarily through the experiences of the sailors, soldiers, and airmen who suffered through it. This is a terrific work." -- Donald L. Miller, author of Masters of the Air and D-Days in the Pacific, "Bill Sloan has a real feel for the human side of this horrific drama. He suggests there can never be such a battle again, and by the time you've finished reading, you will pray he's right. A powerful, moving book."-- Evan Thomas, author ofSea of Thunder: Four Commanders and the Last Great Naval Campaign, 1941-1945, "Gripping. Authoritative. Masterfully told. I cannot praise this book highly enough." -- Alex Kershaw, author of The Bedford Boys and The Longest Winter, "Bill Sloan has a real feel for the human side of this horrific drama.

Yet, the fighting for Okinawa was so ferocious that it influenced America's decision to use the atomic bomb. If Japan would fight so furiously for an island outpost, what would an invasion of the mainland cost? Bill Sloan answers that question in this close-up, you-are-there account of the Pacific war's ultimate struggle. Battle reportage at its finest."-- Joseph E. Persico, author ofEleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour: Armistice Day 1918, "Memory of an epic battle that altered history has begun to fade.
