Challenge for the Pacific
"Intensely dramatic, vivid, broad, and yet intimate in detail, deeply moving in its portrayal of the human side of war. In the best sense, it is history made alive" (Pasadena Star News). Building on the momentum established with HBO's The Pacific miniseries (based in part on Robert Leckie's Helmet for my Pillow) comes the long-overdue republication of Challenge for the Pacific (formerly a Da Capo Press Trade paperback, now out of print).
Helmet for my Pillow
Robert Leckie's gripping memoir of fighting as a US Marine in World War 2, which inspired the epic Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg HBO series, The Pacific.
