Synopsis

"A project conceived by the late historian Stephen Ambrose and carried through by his son, this work tracks several marines and a navy pilot through WWII in the Pacific Ocean. If extant combat memoirs render several names in this group recognizable to serious WWII readers (and form the foundation of Ambrose’s chronicle), a new HBO combat drama—advertised on Super Bowl XLIV no less—that debuts in tandem with the book will accord even wider renown to the warriors. Inhabiting the same volume, the main characters, nevertheless, enact separate narratives that cross intermittently in battles such as the harrowing amphibious landings on Peleliu and Iwo Jima and the ghastly campaigns on Guadalcanal and Okinawa. The account of the pilot is even more autonomous, because it is framed by aircraft-carrier warfare at Midway and elsewhere. Although structurally this work collects more than unifies the biographies, its author’s original research, which textures the five individuals, should rekindle interest in Ambrose’s sources—classics in war literature such as Robert Leckie’s Helmet for My Pillow (1957) or Eugene Sledge’s With the Old Breed (1981)."
