The Right Kind of War
by John McCormick
Category: War stories

John McCormick has crafted this haunting, unforgettable novel from his own World War II service with the U.S. Marine Corp's elite Raiders--the men in the vanguard of the island-hopping campaign to wrest control of the Pacific from the Japanese. In spare, unadorned prose, McCormick depicts early small-scale battles and the later massive assaults in telling the story of a gallant band of young Marines coming of age.
