"I shall never forget that beach...one dead soldier in particular who caught my eye. I wonder about him. What were his plans never to be fulfilled, what fate brought him to that spot at that moment? Who was waiting for him at home?"
— Corporal William Preston

“War books are often sanitized and sterilized to make them more palatable. ‘The Last of the Old Breed’ is not. Captured through hundreds of hours of face-to-face interviews with the last surviving Marines of the brutal Pacific campaign of World War Two, Scott Davis delivers a visceral, blunt and unvarnished portrayal of this horrific and heroic history—a history of savagery and sacrifice that we must never forget.”
And that is my assessment of this incredible book by Scott Davis.
The book has just been released.
