À propos de cet audio

From the best-selling author of A Higher Call and Spearhead comes an unflinching firsthand chronicle of the heroic US Marines who fought on Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and in other pivotal battles during the Pacific War, a classic book now expanded with new stories from the flyboys overhead and the home front at war.

Following 15 Marines from Pearl Harbor, through their battles with the Japanese, to their return home after V-J Day, Adam Makos and Marcus Brotherton have compiled an oral history of the Pacific War in the words of the men who fought on the front lines. With vivid, unforgettable detail, these Marines reveal harrowing accounts of combat with an implacable enemy, the camaraderie they found, the friends they lost, and the aftermath of the war's impact on their lives.

With unprecedented access to the veterans and unpublished memoirs, Voices of the Pacific presents true stories of heroism as told by such World War II veterans as Sid Phillips, R.V. Burgin, and Chuck Tatum - whose exploits were featured in the classic HBO miniseries The Pacific - and their Marine buddies from the legendary 1st Marine Division.

Should be a book read in ever class throughout the western world. We don’t value freedom nearly enough anymore.

Must read book!!

I really enjoyed this book and listening to all the various battles of the pacific.

My only wish is that the audiobook had several different voices to help distinguish between the various characters in the story.

I think it would be fabulous to have actual veterans, or seniors, read this novel. It would really make the listener feel as though they were sitting around the table listening to these veterans talk about their past.

All in all though, a great listen.

Great stories.

I struggled with this one. It keeps jumping from scene to scene, character to character. The flow... well, it didn't flow for me.

I loved the other books by Makos. But this one, it just felt like a documentary/memoirs.

Some may love it, but this is a pass for me.

not the same as the other books...
