Reviews

"Gripping. Authoritative. Masterfully told. I cannot praise this book highly enough."
Alex Kershaw, author of The Bedford Boys and The Longest Winter
"A compelling, immensely evocative story…the defining battle of the Pacific War, seen primarily through the experiences of the sailors, soldiers, and airmen who suffered through it. This is a terrific work."
Donald L. Miller, author of Masters of the Air and D-Days in the Pacific
"Bill Sloan has a real feel for the human side of this horrific drama. He suggests there can never be such a battle again, and by the time you've finished reading, you will pray he's right. A powerful, moving book."
Evan Thomas, author of Sea of Thunder: Four Commanders and the Last Great Naval Campaign,
