The American war in the Pacific told using the words of some of the men involved. And their words help make this detailed account so vivid, showing how ordinary men were plunged into a terrible and protracted fight against the Japanese. The book is not exactly a tie-in to the Steven Spielberg HBO TV series but runs parallel, the author acted as historical consultant to the series.
