Summary "The "Devil Dogs" of King Company, Third Battalion, 5th Marines--part of the legendary 1st Marine Division--were among the first American soldiers to take the offensive in World World II--and also the last. Ordinary men from very different backgrounds, and drawn from cities, towns, and settlements across America, the Devil Dogs were asked to do something extraordinary: take on the victorious Imperial Japanese Army, composed of some of the most effective, "utterly ruthless and treacherous" 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"-- Provided by publisher.
