After his trilogy covering the war in North Africa and Europe, Shaara was asked by many, especially Marines, if he planned to write about the Pacific theater as well. He tells briefly of the island-hopping, the fierce battles with their terrible toll in lives lost, and the strategy to bring the battle finally to the shores of Japan. Then he tells in depth of the fight for Okinawa, the last island before Japan, and of the decision to use the atomic bomb to end the war.
The use of the bomb is debated still, and this book will help put in perspective the situation that led to the final decision.
Shaara's focus is on the Marines on Okinawa while he acknowledges that an infantry unit also fought valiantly to overcome fierce Japanese resistance. He follows a Marine private and the Japanese commander as well as the U.S. Pacific commanders, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz. For the most part he stays with the Marines.
To tell more would lessen the impact of the book, but it is as fine a portrayal of men at war as I have ever read. I highly recommend it .
