Eddie Welsh, Pvt. 1st Class Don Doll, Pvt. John Bell, Capt. James Stein, Cpl. Fife, and dozens more just like them - infantrymen who are about to land, grim and white-faced, on an atoll in the Pacific called Guadalcanal. This is their story, a shatteringly realistic walk into hell and back. In the days ahead, some will earn medals, others will do anything they can dream up to get evacuated before they land in a muddy grave. But they will all discover the thin red line that divides the sane from the mad - and the living from the dead - in this unforgettable portrait that captures for all time the total experience of men at war." --From the back cover 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction 650 0 $a War stories, American 941 $a 3 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305033712.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20230902015214.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191122025139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42045B66989711E4B97AA57FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
