Praise for Red Blood, Black Sand "In my judgment, no combat veteran's memoir is better...and only a handful are equal."--Stephen E. Ambrose "Chuck Tatum was there, a participant in and a witness to history. If it is possible to answer the question 'What was it like?', he tells you in this book."--Tom Hanks, "In my judgment, no combat veteran's memoir is better . . . and only a handful are equal."-Stephen E. Ambrose "Chuck Tatum was there, a participant in and a witness to history. If it is possible to answer the question 'What was it like?', he tells you in this book." -Tom Hanks, "In my judgment, no combat veteran's memoir is better . . . and only a handful are equal."--Stephen E.

Synopsis
A story of heroism, friendship, and courage in World War 2--as seen in the award-winning HBO miniseries The Pacific . In 1944, the U.S. Marines were building the 5th Marine Division--also known as "The Spearhead"--in preparation for the invasion of the small, Japanese-held island of Iwo Jima... When Chuck Tatum began Marine boot camp, he was just a smart-aleck teenager eager to serve his country. Little did he know that he would be training under a living legend of the Corps--Medal of Honor recipient John Basilone, who had almost single-handedly fought off a Japanese force of three thousand on Guadalcanal. It was from Basilone and other sergeants that Tatum would learn how to fight like a Marine and act like a man--skills he would need when he hit the black sand of Iwo Jima with thirty thousand other Marines. Red Blood, Black Sand is the story of Chuck's two weeks in hell, where he would watch his hero, Basilone, fall, where the enemy stalked the night, where snipers haunted the day, and where Chuck would see his friends whittled away in an eardrum-shattering, earth-shaking, meat grinder of a battle. This is the island, the heroes, and the tragedy of Iwo Jima--through the eyes of one who survived it.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
