Uncommon Valor. My father fought on Iwo Jima in the 5th marine division from the beginning - 36 days. He was shot in the arm on March 27th the day after the island was secured. Was sent to Walter Reed hospital to heal where he met Bess Truman. Received the Purple Heart. His older brother was serving on another battleship in the area viewing the battle. He had a lot of admiration for my father, his younger brother. My dad never talked much about what happened, saying “you don’t want to know”. Goodbye Darkness-a great book, very descriptively explains what the life of a marine was like during the Pacific War battles.

Good read but …. I wasn’t a big fan of integrating the memories of battle with a visit of battle fields 30+ later, but this was the author’s memoir not mine. Book pulls no punches in the gore and horror of battle. Very well written by a very skilled author, which definitely sets it apart from many other memoirs.

Goodbye Darkness. I've read this several times over the years. My father-in-law, who while in the Army saw action at the Canal, New Georgia, New Guinea and the Phillipines, was an avid reader of history, said it was the best of the South Pacific war books. I have read about all of Manchester's books and think, for his actual combat experience , he deserves more play in this current time where "The Pacific" is so popular. My father, Marines, Eniwetok, Peliliu, Okinawa, did not read, told me my fil saw very difficult duty. I trust his word!

Goodbye, Darkness. One of the most thorough and intimate accounts of the Pacific theatre of WWII. Intelligently written with a tremendously humane tone which transcends the violent tenor of today's war stories.

Goodbye, darkness. Easily one of the greatest accounts of American exceptional ism that has ever been written. A beautifully crafted narrative of some of the most horrifying battles in history, it honors the men of the United States Marine Corps who sacrificed all that America and her enduring values of decency and compassion might live.
