After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, millions of young American men were eager to join up and defend their country. William Swanson was among them. The View from My Foxhole tells William Swanson’s story of fighting in the jungles of Bougainville and Guam and the ash heap of Iwo Jima. Through it he maintains his sense of humor and thanks his lucky stars for every day he survives. From THE VIEW FROM MY FOXHOLE: We move past the torn bodies of our buddies, hoping and praying that we will be spared, yet knowing in our hearts that many will not. Fear is on me again—fear of death, of course—but I have found that it is relatively easy to resign oneself to death and, on occasion, even welcome the thing. It is really the violence, the pain, the suddenness, and unpredictability of events that tear our insides. We cannot be sure of anything—not the next step or the next second—and that is the real terror.

"Shively has documented in a very readable fashion the transformation of a young Hoosier into a disciplined member of the United States Marine Corps. His book is a detailed and touching tale of one man's experience of the battle of Iwo Jima, and the many excellent photographs and maps enhance the story." -- Major General Fred Haynes, USMC (Ret.) The 36-day assault on the small volcanic island known as Iwo Jima resulted in more than 26,000 American casualties, including 6,800 dead. Of the 20,000 Japanese defenders, only 1,083 survived. The Marines' efforts secured what would become a vital emergency landing strip for crippled B-29s returning from bombing runs. Twenty-seven Medals of Honor were awarded to Marines and sailors, many posthumously, more than were awarded for any other single operation during the war. Jim Craig was a platoon commander with the Marines on Iwo Jima. This book presents his story, as told to his nephew, John C. Shively. A particularly vivid and exciting account of some of the most intense fighting of the Pacific War, the immediacy of the story is heightened by the detail that Shively's research has added to Craig's recollections. The result is one of the most realistic depictions of combat ever written.

This book narrates the experiences of a soldier who served in Co. F, 397th Regiment of the 100th Infantry Division in WWII. It integrates the foxhole perspectives of an 18-year-old combat infantryman with those obtained in two subsequent visits to former combat areas in France and Germany. Extensive research and conversations with fellow 100th Division soldiers during the intervening years helped fill in the gaps to complete this book in the author¿s 80th year, 60 years after combat.

On 1 April 1945, over half a million US troops were ready to invade Okinawa, the last step before the expected incursion of mainland Japan, in the largest amphibious landing of the Second World War. The unexpectedly unopposed landing lulled many soldiers and marines into a false sense of security. Around 150,000 fanatical Japanese troops and conscripts, including children, fought tenaciously from mutually supporting, in depth, well-camouflaged, mostly underground positions, trying their best to inflict such heavy casualties on the Americans that they would reconsider an invasion of the Japanese homeland. While the battle on land raged on, thousands of kamikaze planes came crashing down from the skies, adding to the already appalling number of casualties. Okinawa 1945 - A Foxhole View is a day-by-day account of the brutal conflict, told from the perspectives of invaders, defenders and civilians.
