Publisher's summary

In volume eight of the Things Our Fathers Saw® series, you will return to the Pacific with our veterans as they recall the chaos in the aftermath at Pearl Harbor, the first challenges on land at Guadalcanal, island-hopping with the Marines, Navy, and Army at the Marshalls, Marianas, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.

You will witness the most horrific bonzai charges of the war, accompany airmen on their B-29 missions over Japan, and lean over Navy corpsmen as they work to save the wounded.

Great book in understanding the greatest generation soldier.

Another great book of personal accounts of the many WWII men and women who served their country during the war. An inside look in their personal stories and the effects war had on them many years later.

Wonderful!

Rozell’s interviews are an extremely important part of our nation’s history. Indeed, the Greatest Generation’s hero’s and “regular Joes” form the backbone of who we are as a people.

Fantastic

My father would never talk about his war experience and these books, along with first person books by men such as Robert Leckie & Eugene Sledge, have provided me some moving, marvelous insight.
