内容简介
One of the real-life heroes featured in HBO(r)'s The
Pacific tells his own true story.
R.V. Burgin reveals his experiences as a Marine at
war in the Pacific Theater, where Company K confronted snipers,
ambushes along narrow jungle trails, abandoned corpses of hara-kiri
victims, and howling banzai attacks as they island-hopped from one
bloody battle to the next. During his two years of service, Burgin
rose from a green private to a seasoned sergeant, and earned a
Bronze Star for his valor at Okinawa.
With unforgettable drama and an understated elegance, Burgin's
gripping narrative chronicles the waning days of World War II,
bringing to life the hell that was the Pacific War.
