Strong Men Armed: The United States Marines Against Japan

Written by Robert Leckie, whose wartime exploits will be featured this spring in the upcoming Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg HBO miniseries The Pacific , Strong Men Armed has been a perennial bestselling classic account of the Pacific theater in World War II. As scout and machine-gunner for the First Marine Division, Leckie fought in all its engagements until his wounding at Peleliu. Here he uses firsthand experience and impeccable research to re-create the nightmarish battles of the Pacific campaign.

Robert Leckie (1920-2001) served with 1st Marine Division against the Japanese during WWII. He authored more the forty books including his best selling memoir Helmet for My Pillow: From Parris Island to the Pacific .
