Book excerpt: A powerfully wrought military memoir by a member of World War II’s fabled 1st Marine division. “Engrossing account of the vicious combat encountered by US Marines in the Pacific theater of World War II. . . . Will appeal to fans of The Pacific or Band of Brothers.” —Kirkus Reviews Sterling Mace’s unit was the legendary “K-3-5” (for Company K, 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment of the 1st Marine Division), and his story takes readers through some of the most intense action of the Pacific War, from the seldom-seen perspective of a rifleman at the point of attack. Battleground Pacific is filled with indelible moments that begin with his childhood growing up in Queens, New York, and his run-in with the law that eventually led to his enlistment. But this is ultimately a combat tale—as violent and harrowing as any that has come before. From fighting through the fiery hell that was Peleliu to the deadly battleground of Okinawa, Mace traces his path from the fear of combat to understanding that killing another human comes just as easily as staying alive. Battleground Pacific is one of the most important and entertaining memoirs about the Pacific theater in World War II. “Another great tribute to “The Greatest Generation.” Mace’s tale is written in the language of a grunt speaking for all the unsung heroes who lived and died in the Pacific. A good read from this Marine’s perspective.” —Jerry Cutter, former Marine, nephew of Sgt. John Basilone, USMC, and author of the authorized biography of Basilone, I’m Staying with My Boys
