A Band of Brothers for the Pacific, this is the gut-wrenching but ultimately triumphant story of the Marines' most ferocious-yet largely forgotten-battle of World War II.Between September 15 and October 15, 1944, the First Marine Division suffered more than 6,500 casualties fighting on the hellish little island in the Pacific. Peleliu was the scene for one of the very most savage struggles of contemporary times, a true killing ground that has all but been forgotten-until now. Drawing on considerable interviews with Peleliu veterans, Bill Sloan follows the men of K/3/5 and a small number of others throughout the campaign and rescues the Corp's bloodiest battle from obscurity.
