PACIFIC, THE by Hugh Ambrose - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by Hugh Ambrose.
In this companion to the HBO(r) miniseries-executive produced by Tom
Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and Gary Goetzman-Hugh Ambrose reveals the
intertwined odysseys of four U.S. Marines and a U.S. Navy carrier pilot
during World War II.
Between America's retreat from China
in late November 1941 and the moment General MacArthur's airplane
touched down on the Japanese mainland in August of 1945, five men
connected by happenstance fought the key battles of the war against
Japan. From the debacle in Bataan, to the miracle at Midway and the
relentless vortex of Guadalcanal, their solemn oaths to their country
later led one to the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot and the others to the
coral strongholds of Peleliu, the black terraces of Iwo Jima and the
killing fields of Okinawa, until at last the survivors enjoyed a
triumphant, yet uneasy, return home.
In The Pacific,
Hugh Ambrose focuses on the real-life stories of the five men who put
their lives on the line for our country. To deepen the story revealed
in the miniseries and go beyond it, the book dares to chart a great
ocean of enmity known as The Pacific and the brave men who fought. Some
considered war a profession, others enlisted as citizen soldiers. Each
man served in a different part of the war, but their respective duties
required every ounce of their courage and their strength to defeat an
enemy who preferred suicide to surrender. The medals for valor which
were pinned on three of them came at a shocking price-a price paid in
full by all.
