Publisher's Summary
From the best-selling author of A Higher Call and Spearhead comes an unflinching firsthand chronicle of the heroic US Marines who fought on Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and in other pivotal battles during the Pacific War, a classic book now expanded with new stories from the flyboys overhead and the home front at war.
Following 15 Marines from Pearl Harbor, through their battles with the Japanese, to their return home after V-J Day, Adam Makos and Marcus Brotherton have compiled an oral history of the Pacific War in the words of the men who fought on the front lines. With vivid, unforgettable detail, these Marines reveal harrowing accounts of combat with an implacable enemy, the camaraderie they found, the friends they lost, and the aftermath of the war's impact on their lives.
With unprecedented access to the veterans and unpublished memoirs, Voices of the Pacific presents true stories of heroism as told by such World War II veterans as Sid Phillips, R.V. Burgin, and Chuck Tatum - whose exploits were featured in the classic HBO miniseries The Pacific - and their Marine buddies from the legendary 1st Marine Division.

Fabulous personal accounts of the war in the Pacific.
This audio book has a fantastic format: several veterans have been extensively interviewed and their individual accounts are synchronised to places and events. In this way, you get multiple views of the same thing, for a more 360-degree view. It’s a clever idea and it’s really engaging for the listener. My only criticism is that they should have used more voice actors so that each individual marine was identifiable - sometimes I couldn’t follow the narratives as closely as I would have liked. I’m sure this was purely a budget decision. It’s not a deal breaker by any means. Such a fantastic book. Bravo!
