Reviews

"[Saul] David draws on the written words of the veterans, interweaving these primary accounts with official archives, to dramatize the human narrative of how men learned to be brave. The result is an old story told in a new and compelling way. Very well told. A must for enthusiasts of WWII history."-- "Library Journal (starred)"

"A real page-turner [about] a remarkable military unit whose story ought to be better known."-- "Kirkus Reviews"

"A worthy addition to the literature of the Okinawa campaign."-- "The Wall Street Journal"

"Action packed. This thrilling tale will captivate readers."-- "Publishers Weekly"

"Excellent. Saul David's gripping narrative is admirably clear."--Antony Beevor, #1 internationally bestselling author of D-Day

"Exquisite detail...subtly textured. The Pacific War is rendered in painful and poignant detail. A narrative that reads like war in real time. It's war unplugged: cruelty, destruction, pain, but also love, kindness and camaraderie."-- "The Times (UK)"

"Skillfully plumbing the rich array of firsthand accounts by Company K veterans, Saul David vividly describes pillbox raids, accidental deaths, and hellish jungle conditions, and draws incisive portraits of Marine officers and their command decisions. The result is a captivating chronicle of the war in the Pacific."-- "Publishers Weekly"

"With impeccable research and a keen eye for detail, Saul David has brought to life the surprising story of the original band of brothers. An essential part of anyone's library."--Doug Stanton, #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Moonshot
