Battle Cry is the riveting Marine epic by the bestselling author of
such classics as Trinity and Exodus
Originally published in 1953, Leon Uris's Battle Cry is the raw and
exciting story of men at war from a legendary American author. This is
the story of enlisted men--Marines at the beginning of World War II.
They are a rough-and-ready tangle of guys from America's cities and
farms and reservations. Led by a tough veteran sergeant, these soldiers
band together to emerge as part of one of the most elite fighting forces
in the world. With staggering realism and detail we follow them into
intense battles--Guadalcanal and Tarawa--and through exceptional moments
of camaraderie and bravery, Battle Cry does not extol the glories of
war, but proves itself to be one of the greatest war stories of all
time.
