Download Hell in the Pacific: A Marine Rifleman's Journey from Guadalcanal to Peleliu AudioBook Free
In what would be the previous memoir to be publicized by a full time income veteran of the pivotal invasion of Guadalcanal, which occurred almost 70 years back, Marine Jim McEnery has teamed up with creator Bill Sloan to build an unforgettably immersive chronicle of horror and heroism. Made famous by the HBO miniseries The Pacific, McEnery's rifle company - the renowned K/3/5 of the First Marine Department - fought in some of the very most ferocious battles of the Pacific. In arresting details, the author requires us back to Guadalcanal, where in fact the Americans transformed the tide of war against japan; Cape Gloucester, where 1,300 Marines were wiped out or wounded; and also to bloody Peleliu, where McEnery assumed order of the business and helped rate the final beat of japan garrison. From his evocative recollections of hand-to-hand fighting with each other and the loss of buddies in hellish fighting with each other to his frank portraits of legends like Colonel Lewis "Chesty" Puller and General Douglas MacArthur, McEnery's gritty narrative is as valuable because of its insights on a war more and more lost to memory space as it is terrifying and engrossing - a professional work that no-one interested in military history are able to avoid.
