Read by John Allen Nelson.
Follow John Leckie's odyssey, from basic training on Parris Island, South Carolina, all the way to the raging battles in the Pacific, where some of the war's fiercest fighting took place. Recounting his services with the 1st Marine Division and the brutal action on Guadalcanal, New Britain and Peleliu, Leckie spares no detail of the horrors and sacrifices of war.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Narration is bland submitted by kbcmmom on January 20, 2021, 3:01pm I have heard wonderful things about this book. The narration is very bland and almost sounds computer generated. I can't bear to listen.
