Filling an essential gap in the understanding of warfare during
World War II, author Donald E. Anderson describes life as a young
enlisted man in Hawaii prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor when he
had only six months left in his tour. In Combat Infantry, he
provides an emotional and firsthand account of the Pearl Harbor
bombing and his next four years of service as he fought disease and
injury, spending time in New Caledonia and New Zealand. A member of
the 35th Regiment, 25th Division, he captures in vivid detail the
fighting in the jungles of Guadalcanal and later, five months of
continuous combat on the island of Luzon in the Philippines.
Anderson describes the grueling combats and deprivations faced by
army infantrymen to liberate the islands. Anderson tells of a
soldier's world that was confined to muddy foxholes, a dustclouded
stretch of mined road, or a rocky, fog-shrouded mountain ridge
where fear and fatigue took its toll. In Combat Infantry, he pays
tribute to those who were killed in action. They are not just names
carved on a stone monument, but living, breathing souls who gave
their lives for freedom.
