From the Rear Cover:
The Terror & the Triumph of U. S. Marines in Combat
The Third Marines landed at Bougainville against all odds. They struggled and fought both enemy an elements. By sheer determination and fortitude, inch by inch, life by life, they took precious ground. Each day brought new dangers, new objectives and the blood- stained courage to succeed in the face of death.
A Marine gives his all in battle & Capt. John Monks has described the actual experience. One can taste the mud, sickness, terror & exhaustion. Yet, the Marines had to succeed and they did. This is more than the story of a tactical battle, this is a description of Marines at war -their humor, their fear, their bravery.
