Requests:  0 Summary:  "The book presents accounts of heroism and honor as told by World War II veterans Sid Phillips, R.V. Burgin, and Chuck Tatum--whose exploits were featured in the HBO mini-series The Pacific--and their Marine buddies from the legendary 1st Marine Division. These Marines trace the action from the Pearl Harbor attack and intense boot camp training through battles with the Japanese on Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, to their return home after V-J Day. With unflinching honesty, these men reveal harrowing accounts of combat with an implacable enemy, the friendships and camaraderie they found--and lost--and the aftermath of the war's impact on their lives. With unprecedented access to the veterans, never-before-seen photographs, and unpublished memoirs, Makos and Brotherton have forged Voices of the Pacific into an incredible historic record of American bravery and sacrifice"--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 940.54597 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific 940.54597 Ma   Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54597 Ma pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList
