The Ghost Mountain Boys - [12 Nov 2009]
Excellent reading. A very graphic description of the terrible conditions suffered by the Red Arrow 32nd Div in their New Guinea campaign. James Campbell is to be commended for his descriptive story. It would make a great film.

So close you can almost feel it... - [26 Nov 2008]
Over the past few years I've tried to expand my knowledge of America's early struggle in WWII, before we were the arsenal of freedom. One of my focus points has been the war in the South West Pacific (for those not familiar, New Guinea). To further this...

Wonderful story that illustrates the true cost of freedom - [08 Aug 2008]
This is one of the best written historical books that I have ever read. It reads more like a novel but is fully and carefully documented with historical notes. James Campbell tells a compelling story of the bitter fight between the American/Australian...

Jungle War on a Shoestring! - [04 Apr 2008]
This book is an easy read. I recommend it to anyone interested in how America's citizen soldiers fought in World War II. The book's style is similar to many of Stephen Ambroses works such as Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne ...
