DESCRIPTION

Military author Rob Morris, Untold Valor: Forgotten Stories of American Bomber Crewmen over Europe in World War II and The Wild Blue Yonder and Beyond: The 95th Bomb Group in War and Peace, spent three years tracking down and interviewing veterans of the war in the Pacific, focusing on men who had undergone extreme combat, imprisonment or sinking. Each stand-alone chapter tells the reader, through the eyes of one to three survivors, what is was like to live through some of the greatest challenges of the Pacific War.

From Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, from Bataan to the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, each chapter of untold valour and against-the-odds survival tells an intensely personal tale of young Americans fighting for survival.
