About this title

Review:

"Bill Sloan has told the wrenching personal stories of U.S. Marines who gave their lives and blood in World War II on a Pacific island that nobody knew or cared about. More striking is the fact that nobody knows or cares "now" about those Marines and that island. This book should change that forever. On another level, "Brotherhood of Heroes" should be read by everyone who contemplates going or sending others to war." -- Jim Lehrer, host of "The News Hour" on PBS
