Summary

"From the devastating surprise attack on Pearl Harbor to America’s first bold counterstrike against the Japanese on the beaches of Guadalcanal, this compelling story takes you to the front lines of victory and defeat - and into the very heart of courage, loyalty, and valor. It is a heroic story of pride and passion you will never forget.... Griffin’s books are distinguished by their high action and suspense, his dashing irreverence toward high command, and his clear picture of war and its wartime leaders.” (The Florida Times-Union)

I would have given this book a four-star rating but was put off by the awful attempt at an Australian accent which somehow seemed to be a blend of English cockney and something else - what I don't know but it was grating to the ear. Also, as in previous books (which I thoroughly enjoyed), the speaking tones of the females and young marines were pretty much the same. But that aside they are all 'rattling good yarns and this one, in particular, does provide perspectives of Roosevelt, King, Macarthur, and many other real figures that make one think beyond the usual portrayals.

Great story that flows well
