Product Description
About This Item
Immerse yourself in the harrowing and heroic tales of World War II with this unforgettable collection of memoirs. This collector's edition brings together three powerful accounts that capture the brutality, fear, and heroism of the American land, air, and sea war in the Pacific. In "With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa," Marine veteran E.B. Sledge provides an unflinching witness to the horrors of prolonged close-quarters combat.
As a mortarman serving in a front-line rifle company, Sledge survives thirty days of nightmarish fighting on the remote coral island of Peleliu, where the conditions erode the veneer of civilization and make savages of them all. On Okinawa, he faces an even greater test of endurance amid mud, rain, and incessant shelling. Sledge's memoir is a haunting testament to his struggle to hold on to decency and sanity and a moving tribute to the U.S.
Marines' esprit de corps. In "Flights of Passage," Samuel Hynes takes readers on an evocative and elegiac journey through his "fairly ordinary flying war." A true believer in the religion of flight, he writes with lyricism, candor, and humor about the joys and dangers of his stateside training as a dive-bomber pilot, the beauty and excitement of flying in combat over the Ryukyu Islands, and his wartime education in the realities of friendship, love, and sudden, random death. Alvin Kernan's "Crossing the Line" offers a vividly written account of his remarkable service in the Navy during World War II. From aviation ordnanceman to air gunner on three aircraft carriers, Kernan witnessed historic events such as the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack, the launching of the Doolittle Raid, and the sinking of the Hornet. His perceptive observations of the sailor's life at sea and on shore make for a compelling and thought-provoking read. With thirty-two pages of photographs and endpaper maps, this illustrated collector's edition captures the essence of the Pacific Theater and the experiences of these brave individuals.
Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply seeking a gripping read, these memoirs offer an unparalleled glimpse into the realities of World War II. Add this book to your collection of World War II books and memoirs, and embark on a journey through history like never before.
