OverviewCulled from interviews with 52 'greatest generation' veterans, By Dammit, We're Marines! offers eye-witness accounts of combat on the Pacific Front during World War II. Facing an embedded, well-equipped enemy, flesh shredding coral reefs, malarial and dengue fever-ridden jungles, mosquito and crocodile-infested swamps and a noxious moonscape sulfur island, these invincible American teenagers destroyed the powerful Japanese war machine. Told in their own words, their recollections offer a foxhole view of ordinary young men in battleraw and uncensored with all the innocence, fear, loneliness, bravado, humor, death, and patriotism that is the universal human experience of combat. Chaplains, corpsmen, sailors and aviators who served with the Marines also share their personal accounts. Readers will learn information not always shared in history books such as The Special Officer Candidate School where for the first and only time in Marine Corps history, officers were trained outside Quantico due to the urgent need for junior officers. The Second Pearl Harbor on May 24, 1944.
