A man is all the people he has been. Some recollections never die. They lie in one's subconscious, squirreled away, biding their time.
Goodbye, Darkness
William Manchester's nightmares began 23 years after WWII. In his visions, he saw himself as a battle-weary adolescent, "angrily demanding to know what had happened to the three decades since he had put down his weapons." Manchester went to the sites in the Pacific where he battled the Japanese as a young Marine to find out, and this book recounts his experiences in the line alongside his fellow Marines (his "brothers"). He offers us an open and unapologetically passionate account of his experiences in the Pacific War.
"The most moving memoir of combat on WW II that I have ever read. A testimony to the fortitude of man...a gripping, haunting, book." --William L. Shirer
