Product Information
Award-winning historian Saul David reveals the searing experience of the Devil Dogs of World War II and does for the U.S. Marines what Band of Brothers did for the 101st Airborne. The "Devil Dogs" of King Company, Third Battalion, 5th Marines--part of the legendary 1st Marine Division--were among the first American soldiers to take the offensive in World World II--and also the last. They landed on the beaches of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands in August 1942--the first US ground offensive of the war--and were present when Okinawa, Japan's most southerly prefecture, finally fell to American troops after a bitter struggle in June 1945. In between they fought in the "Green Hell" of Cape Gloucester on the island of New Britain, and across the coral wasteland of Peleliu in the Palau Islands, a campaign described by one King Company veteran as "thirty days of the meanest, around-the-clock slaughter that desperate men can inflict on each other." Ordinary men from very different backgrounds, and drawn from cities, towns, and settlements across America, the Devil Dogs were asked to do something extraordinary: take on the victorious Imperial Japanese Army, composed of some of the most effective, "utterly ruthless and treacherous" soldiers in world history--and defeat it. This is the story of how they did just that and, in the process, forged bonds of brotherhood that still survive today. Remarkably, the company contained an unusually high number of talented writers, whose first-hand accounts and memoirs provide the color, emotion, and context for this extraordinary story. In Devil Dogs, award-winning historian Saul David sets the searing experience of the Devil Dogs into the broader context of the brutal war in the Pacific and does for the U.S. Marines what Band of Brothers did for the 101st Airborne.

Exquisite detail...subtly textured. The Pacific War is rendered in painful and poignant detail. A narrative that reads like war in real time. It's war unplugged: cruelty, destruction, pain, but also love, kindness and camaraderie., Exquisite detail...subtly textured. The Pacific War is rendered in painful and poignant detail. A narrative that reads like war in real time. It's war unplugged: cruelty, destruction, pain, but also love, kindness and camaraderie. - The Times (UK), The First Special Service Force created in 1942 was a unique elite unit. As Saul David makes clear in this stirring account of their heroics, they did much more than their share and established precedents for the U.S. and Canadian Special Forces of today., Vivid and deeply moving. David masterfully evokes the desperation and courage of soldiers, civilians, and commanders on both sides, constantly switching perspectives to capture the deep story of Okinawa's horror. Hard to put down, harder to forget., With this riveting story of an unlikely group of men becoming elite soldiers and contributing to the Allied victory, Saul David brings us a superb tale, well told., A remarkable story of the most unique special operations unit in Allied service during World War II. The Force is a gripping and awe-inspiring account of a storied unit and a legendary battle., [Saul] David draws on the written words of the veterans, interweaving these primary accounts with official archives, to dramatize the human narrative of how men learned to be brave. The result is an old story told in a new and compelling way. Very well told. A must for enthusiasts of WWII history., Every chapter is filled with harrowing adventure, life and death struggle, and bedrock patriotism. The amount of new cutting-edge research is impressive. A monumental achievement!, Compelling and well-researched, The Force is an uplifting story of bravery, duty, and honor, an account of men who found the courage to take on an impossible mission--and prevail against all odds., With impeccable research and a keen eye for detail, Saul David has brought to life the surprising story of the original band of brothers. An essential part of anyone's library., Roach makes us step back, makes us see the Normans and their many threads, how they were interwoven into the fabric of medieval Europe - and he does so in an accessible style, using the best recent research. The Normans were, as he says, everywhere and nowhere, and their varied experiences come alive in this retelling., Skillfully plumbing the rich array of firsthand accounts by Company K veterans, Saul David vividly describes pillbox raids, accidental deaths, and hellish jungle conditions, and draws incisive portraits of Marine officers and their command decisions. The result is a captivating chronicle of the war in the Pacific., Gripping, even gruesome, yet deeply moving. Sweeps us masterfully from a coral charnel house in the Pacific to the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima.
