Battleground Pacific: a Marine rifleman's combat odyssey in K/3/5

Trama

A powerfully wrought military memoir by a member of World War II's fabled 1st Marine division. Battleground Pacific is filled with indelible moments that begin with his childhood growing up in Queens, New York, and his run-in with the law that eventually led to his enlistment. But this is ultimately a combat tale—as violent and harrowing as any that has come before.
