BROTHERHOOD OF HEROES By Bill Sloan

Iow Jima and Leyete Gulf, are these the most bloodthirsty battles of the Pacific? No. They are well remembered but not the worst. Lost in the vast Pacific lies Peleliu, a bloody jungle with dirt hard as stone with rotting corpses and artillery craters. Retold from the heart of a legendary marine who has been in its midst, losing friends, losing wits, heads, and blood. Fighting Japanese, their tanks and their own casualties. Seeing horrors beyond imagination where nine hundred men die everyday and a thousand are left to suffer. No place on earth except Peleliu in 1944. If you're fascinated how a bunch of ragtag men with wrong maps and instructions face odds one out of a thousand. Read Brotherhood of Heroes by Bill Sloan. Where you can live and be one of them
