In conditions that tested the sanity of each man, 9,000 Marines attacked 10,000 battle hardened Japanese soldiers dug into hundred of fortified and reinforced coral and limestone caves. Twenty-eight days of unrelenting battle with no quarter being given or taken. Brutal, harrowing, but heart-rending, the stories of these soldiers truly speak to the horror of war. This remarkable documentary features interviews with Eugene "Sledgehammer" Sledge (author of "With the Old Breed") , R. V. Bergin (author of "Islands of the Damned"), William Leyden, Jay de L'eau, and Roy Kelly. Sledge, Bergin Leyden, and de L'eau were characterized in the HBO series "The Pacific."
