My focus covers three areas: the island-hopping campaigns that defeated Japan, the cultural forces that made Japanese soldiers fight to the death, and the extraordinary stories of Pacific War survivors who defied the odds.
What matters are the real experiences—the Marines on the beaches, the sailors under kamikaze attack, the soldiers who refused to surrender, and the commanders making impossible decisions.

I believe that I had received this book/novella for joining a mailing list ot from one of a multitude of offers that I receive to try new authors out.
I started this book with high expectations as I have always been a bit of a history fanatic, especially for the time period around World War 2.
Unfortunately, I was only able to only read about half of the book/novella because it felt like the tales were only 4-8 pages long (wasn't in depth enough for a history buff) and every chapter was written from a first person perspective, which would force the reader to do even more research just for the possibility that the information was even related to the chapter .
As such, especially due to the brevity of the tales, I would only recommend this book/novella to the history afficiendo but as I mentioned previously, I would only give this book two and a half stars out of five stars (which would round to three on goodreads.com).
As with all my literary ramblings, these are just my five cents worth.

Good book that covers a lot of different areas about WW2, that you may not hear about - well worth a read…
