![]() In between were nearly two years of punishing combat as the Army transformed, at times unsteadily, from an undertrained garrison force into an unstoppable juggernaut, and America evolved from an inward-looking nation into a global superpower. ![]() McManus, one of our most highly acclaimed historians of World War II, takes readers from Pearl Harbor-a rude awakening for a military woefully unprepared for war-to Makin, a sliver of coral reef where the Army was tested against the increasingly desperate Japanese. Yet the majority of fighting and dying in the war against Japan was done not by Marines but by unsung Army soldiers. ![]() McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian “Out here, mention is seldom seen of the achievements of the Army ground troops,” wrote one officer in the fall of 1943, “whereas the Marines are blown up to the skies.” Even today, the Marines are celebrated as the victors of the Pacific, a reflection of a well-deserved reputation for valor. An engrossing, epic history of the US Army in the Pacific War, from the acclaimed author of The Dead and Those About to Die “This eloquent and powerful narrative is military history written the way it should be.”-James M. ![]() ![]() Coming Soon!

I also wrote it from the viewpoint of someone who has discovered many silver linings in the long, windy, bumpy road of recovering from Cptsd.

The narrator impersonates Richard II with a high, pompous voice that reminds the reader with every utterance of the fundamental reason that his subjects ultimately found him to be intolerable. Featured is the Peasant's Revolt and a rather quirky monarch who is forcibly removed from office. At first blush, this may seem lopsided, but it is not because this is perhaps the most interesting period of the entire Plantagenent rule. The first half of the book covers the 1377-1399 reign of Richard II. I thought it was excellent except for the final bit on Richard III, the last Last Plantagenent. ![]() This book covers the last century of Plantagenent rule in England, or 1377-1485 to be exact. ![]() |
