Day of infamy screaming steel
‘After 3½ years of starvation and brutal treatment, that beautiful symbol of freedom once more flies over our head! Our POW camp tailor worked all night and finished our first American flag! The blue came from a GI barracks bag, red from a Jap comforter and the white from an Australian bed sheet. This book brings you the previously untold firsthand accounts of combat and brotherhood, of captivity and redemption, and the aftermath of a war that left no American community unscathed. I hope you'll never have to do it.' ~Ralph Leinoff, Marine veteran Iwo Jima, to his teenage interviewer ‘I hope you'll never have to tell a story like this, when you get to be 87.

Army veteran, Saipanīy the end of 2020, fewer than 300,000 WW II veterans will still be with us, out of the over 16 million who put on a uniform. 'Holy God, there was howling and screaming! They had naked women, with spears, stark naked!’ ~Nick Grinaldo, U.S. He said, 'I think we're getting hit with a banzai.

Then I saw the Utah turn over.’ ~Barney Ross, U.S. I did not know what it was, but the fellow with me said, 'That's a Jap plane, Jesus!' It went down and dropped a torpedo.
‘I was talking to a shipmate of mine waiting for the motor launch, and all at once I saw a plane go over our ship. How was I going to tell my mother this? You know what I mean?’ ~Jimmy Butterfield, WWII Marine veteran I tried to figure out what the hell I was going to do when I got home. But now you have to tell her, from 5000 miles away. You’ve lost part of your face to a Japanese sniper on Okinawa, and after many surgeries, the doctor has finally told you that at 19, you will never see again. The telephone rings on the hospital floor, and they tell you it is your mother, the phone call you have been dreading. Here are the real stories that LOOK Magazine could not tell.
Includes maps, photos, and never-before-seen portraits. Over thirty survivors who fought from Pearl Harbor to the surrender at Tokyo Bay give firsthand accounts of combat and brotherhood, of captivity and redemption, and the aftermath of a war that left no American community unscathed. It starts with my quest for a young sailor's body, killed at Pearl Harbor, and follows our young men and women across the Pacific.
