Thank you Marines
Revisado: 03-11-24
I have been to war as a 88M/HET Driver in Iraq in 2003-04, 2007. From listening to this book I have a new appreciation of the Marines who fought in the Pacific. I have only endured a very few of the experiences they endured and knew roughly when my unit would redeploy. They did not know when they would redeploy. I thank all of them for their sacrifices that this book reminds me of.
Respectfully,
Gary A Elrod

Historia5 out of 5 stars 763
In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt watches uneasily as the world heads rapidly down a dangerous path. The Japanese have waged an aggressive campaign against China, and they now begin to expand their ambitions to other parts of Asia. As their expansion efforts grow bolder, their enemies know that Japan's ultimate goal is total conquest over the region, especially when the Japanese align themselves with Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy, who wage their own war of conquest across Europe.

Great read

I have a degree in history, was a Surface Officer in the Navy and my observation is based on my education and military experience. This book is a great read. It will not drown the reader/listener with to much information. The story is presented from the views of levels of the chain of command. It was a pleasure to listen to and I highly recommend it.

With Allied armies poised on the banks of the Rhine, Nazi Germany tottered on the brink of collapse. The ensuing battles on German soil - especially those in the so-called Ruhr Pocket - were as fierce and hard-fought as any in the European theater. Going well beyond previous accounts, Derek S. Zumbro chronicles this key military campaign from a unique and fresh perspective - that of the defeated German soldiers and civilians caught in the final maelstrom of the war's Western front.

James Webb, author of Fields of Fire, the classic novel of the Vietnam War - and a former U.S. Senator; Secretary of the Navy; recipient of the Navy Cross, Silver Star and Purple Heart as a combat Marine; and a self-described "military brat" - has written an extraordinary memoir of his early years, "a love story - love of family, love of country, love of service" in his words.

Shouldn't narrators learn proper pronunciations?

Opened the door so that I could see into my Father’s generation.
Revisado: 01-29-18
This book opened the door so that I could see into my Father’s generation. Like the author I am a combat veteran but I never understood what drove my Father to succeed until I read his book.
I had already read Fields of Fire and I saw many of the same situations and characters in the author’s experience in Vietnam as he wrote of in Fields If Fire.
