- WWII History at its' Best
War Stories II is a must have for history buffs or novices alike. First hand accounts along with maps and excellent research lead you through the war in the Pacific step by step. The war in the Pacific was especially bloody and costly simply because we were fighting an enemy that preferred death to defeat. The Geneva Conventions Accord meant nothing to the Japanese. You will feel just about every emotion available to you. My feelings were anger, disgust and shock. War is a terrible thing but the war in the Pacific was brutal and inhumane. You will not have a dull moment in this great book, from cover to cover. This should be required reading for all High School students.

- About Heroes and Written by One
A wonderful book with a DVD containing interviews of some of the greatest generation who fought for our future. Dopes like Joseph from San Diego, who put down Lt. Colonel North, would'nt know a heroe if he had to spit on one. Physical cowards like Joseph show the weakness of the younger generation. I was in the Marines and know how honorable people like my WWII Colonel grandfather and his kind are. You liberals live your spoiled lives because of people like him, the ones in this book, and Lt. Colonel North. Hey Joseph, cover your ears because this will hurt: "GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

- Oliver goes south
What would Oliver North be able to tell us about honor? Isn't this the same Oliver North who stumbled into the spotlight as a Reagan-administration fall guy, and prime suspect in the Iran-Contra scandal of the mid-1980s? I'm sure that one story of WWII valor that goes unrecalled in Ollie's book is that of Congressional Medal of Honor winner Senator Daniel Inoue of Hawaii. After all, Senator Inoue (who lost an arm during fighting in Italy while serving with the legendary Japanese-American 442 Regiment) presided over the Senate committee which investigated the Iran-Contra scandal, and when, during cross-examination, North questioned Inoue's patriotism, he was soundly chastised by other committee members present who had to point out to North the enormity of Inoue's sacrifice and the depth of his honor. North's reply was incredulity; after all, he had just displayed and unforgivable ingnorance of WWII history, and had ... Read More

- Excellent histories
Since I'm not much of a fan of cousin Olie it bothers me that I like the book so much. But what can you say? It's an excellent history filled with detail and insight that I think only an ex-combat marine would see. Very readable and interesting. A very decent work that will personalize the battles that more academic historians write about.
