Private Henrik Hahnemann is an eighteen-year-old Missouri farm boy
growing up in the hard scrabble times of the Great Depression.
Known for his hunting skills, his close-knit family often depend on
him to bring home dinner. Shaken and bitter by the attack on Pearl
Harbor, he is fixated on revenge and chooses the Marine Corps as
the means for his personal retribution. Granted an early high
school graduation, "Handyman" Henrik struggled with the change from
a peaceful famer's son, but his platoon come to recognize his
shooting and hunting skills. When the chips were down he summons
the determination necessary to survive against hopeless odds.
Superior Private Obatia Yoshiro is an average twenty-year-old
student expected to eventually take over his father's glassworks.
To most an unassuming economics student, he has another side
face=Calibri>- a side shaped by long hours crewing an uncle's
fishing boat where he is exposed to the physical and mental demands
of the elements. His school plans suddenly undermined by a draft
notice, he makes the best of a dismal and brutal life of absolute
obligation and unquestioning obedience. Both will end up on a
rugged and brutal South Pacific island called Guadalcanal, where,
two determined nations pit all they could spare; committing every
airplane, ship, and soldier they could funnel into the cauldron.
Values and beliefs, discipline and obedience, massed firepower or
skill at arms face=Calibri>- what will prevail in this
nightmare?
