The ‘Devil Dogs’ of K Company, 3/5 Marines, were part of the legendary first Marine Division. Ordinary men from very different backgrounds, the Devil Dogs were asked to do something extraordinary: take on the victorious Imperial Japanese Army, composed of some of the most effective soldiers in world history – and defeat it. This is the story of how they did just that and, in the process, forged bonds of brotherhood that still survive today. Remarkably, the company contained an unusually high number of talented writers, whose first-hand accounts and memoirs provide the colour, emotion, and context for this extraordinary story. Gripping, intimate, authoritative and far-reaching, this is a unique and incredibly personal narrative of war.
