Story
Gideon Zadok arrives in Israel with every intention to research a new book, mend a broken marriage, and improve his dysfunctional family. But as political tensions escalate and his family is evacuated, Zadok asks to follow Israeli paratroopers to secure Mitla Pass and finds himself in the midst of one of the largest global crises of the twentieth century. A sweeping novel of love, passion, and freedom, Mitla Pass stands as an epic look at modern Middle Eastern history and is quite possibly Uris’s most autobiographical work.

Story
From the acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other beloved classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure that captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost.

Story
It was a time of crisis, a time of tragedy - and a time of transcendent courage and determination. Leon Uris’s blazing novel is set in the midst of the ghetto uprising that defied Nazi tyranny, as the Jews of Warsaw boldly met Wehrmacht tanks with homemade weapons and bare fists. Here, painted on a canvas as broad as its subject matter, is the compelling story of one of the most heroic struggles of modern times.

Publisher's Summary
Battle Cry is the riveting Marine epic by the bestselling author of such classics as Trinity and Exodus
Originally published in 1953, Leon Uris’s Battle Cry is the raw and exciting story of men at war from a legendary American author. This is the story of enlisted men - Marines at the beginning of World War II. They are a rough-and-ready tangle of guys from America’s cities and farms and reservations. Led by a tough veteran sergeant, these soldiers band together to emerge as part of one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. With staggering realism and detail we follow them into intense battles - Guadalcanal and Tarawa - and through exceptional moments of camaraderie and bravery, Battle Cry does not extol the glories of war, but proves itself to be one of the greatest war stories of all time.

An old favourite that hasn’t aged well.
I read this book many years ago and loved it. A gritty war epic, it follows a group of raw recruits, from boot camp to the pacific campaign. It’s easy to become close to the characters as they train, fight, and drink their way through ww2
Finally listened to the audible and I’m trying to remember why I liked it so much. I had trouble listening to their encounters with women who they treated like trash; how the men who cheated on their women back home were just poor lonely boys, while the women they lay with were sluts.
The narrator was ok. The female voices were a bit whiny and the NewZealand accent was almost comical.
I made it through to the end and was glad I did. It made me realise how much I’d changed.

Are heroic exploits of the US Marines exaggurated?
This novel does not portray men in a very good light (from a female's perspective, at least) - excessive drinking, gambling, smoking and womanising are depicted as being normal, and acceptable. The majority of males may find it entertaining but this does not make the behaviour acceptable, especially in today's society.
Further, I couldn't stomach some of the heroic exploits, which I found to be simply unbelievable. Too gung-ho for my taste.

Battle Cry Review
An excellent Listen. Loved the pacing of this book. It's highs and lows scattered throughout. Intense battles contrasting the peaceful time of New Zealand. Allowing it's audience to see the growth of its characters, seeing the shifts over time in a slow realistic manner. Having so many characters, it is hard to flesh them all out. This book does an exceptional Job at seperating the individual from the soldier. Some parts wouldn't be seen as contextually appropriate if written in todays society; This is just a marginalised aspect. Overall I'd gladly reccomend to any Pacific WW2 enthusiast.
