Selection · Edition 2026-09-26
Veteran oral history from a Marine who was at Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Guam, and Iwo Jima — four of the most significant Pacific actions. The personal-account format limits analytical depth, but the combat arc of this single Marine's war is extraordinary and pairs well with Harris's Henderson Field episode this week.
