War is not romantic. It is bleeding and dying and holding a
lifeless comrade in your arms. It is storming a beach through a
hail of bullets. It isfighter planes spiraling from the sky and
Americans being taken captive. In "Scars of War," author Marilyn
Swinson tells true and often horrifyingstories of war.
Based on one-on-one interviews with more than forty veterans,
all members of the Combat Airmen/Joshua's Troops of Mayodan, North
Carolina, Swinson brings the narratives to lifeas the soldiers
relay a variety of war experiences: a soldier aboard a ship moored
at Pearl Harbor on that fateful December morning when Japanesebombs
rained fire from the sky, and a seventeen-year-old young man forced
to endure the horrors of the Bataan Death March, only to face three
and ahalf years of torture and deprivation in Japanese
concentration camps. A pilot lives to fly again after his plane
hits the ground traveling three hundred miles per hour, igniting
sixteen thousand pounds of jet fuel. A battle-weary Marine finally
sees Old Glory raised on Iwo Jima.
"Scars of War" provides a firsthand account of the pathos and
pageantry of war from those who survived.
