Publisher's Synopsis
From the rain forests of Guadalcanal to the hell-hot coral sands of Peleliu, the men of the First Marine Division were there. This is their own story, as real as the mud and dust they slogged through and the blood that they shed; as real as the women they loved and left, and as real as the graves where some of their bravest now rest. Author Robert Leckie was there with them. Tough and young, as scared and proud as the best of them, he lived to tell this true story of what they saw and survived.
