Hi all, George Eller in particular. Hope everyone had a great holiday. I wanted to recommend a great book for anyone interested in the war in the Pacific. “Across the Dark Islands: The War in the Pacific”. The man who wrote it, Floyd W. Radike, was in the 25th Infantry Division, 161st infantry brigade, which was the same one my Great Uncle was in. He probably never knew my Uncle, but I think I’ll be able to see the war as my uncle saw it by reading his words. I’ve just started reading it, but so far it’s great and got wonderful recommendations.
I just ordered the DVD Great Battles of WWII: Fury in the Pacific and I was wondering if anyone had seen it and also if anyone had any more recommendations for DVD’s about the War in the Pacific in particular. Eventually I’ll move on to the entire war, but right now I’m mainly concentrating on the Pacific. Thanks in advance.
