In a manner that is often unsettling, Bloody Pacific bringsto life the GIs' epic struggle with suffocating wilderness, debilitating diseases, and Japanese soldiers choosing death over life. Amid the frustration and despair of this war, American soldiers abandoned themselves to an escalating rage against nature and man, and prayed for the bombs that would wipe away Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
