The Last of the Old Breed
An oral history of the brutal Pacific Theater in WWII, told by many of the last living U.S. Marine veterans.
"Invaluable as the WWII generation passes…Likely no oral history like this can be organized again, justifying its addition to the enormous WWII-history collection." ―Booklist
“An immersive collection of oral testimony from still-living vets who fought in WWII’s Pacific Theater…a raw record of a generation’s little discussed trauma.” ―Publishers Weekly
“Vivid memories of bygone battles.” —Kirkus Reviews
