[good solid copy, very light soiling to page edges; jacket shows minor wear at edges/corners, vertical scuff mark on lower half of spine]. "A savage story of United States Marine Corps warfare in the South Pacific, indisputably authentic in every detail, [this novel] provides a gripping picture of courage in the midst of combat -- not the courage associated with the so-called glory of war, but the courage that permits a man to endure the humiliation and agony of battle."
