Editorial Review: Product Description: From the awared winning and number one rated Fox News Channel hosted by Oliver North, War Stories highlights the most riveting stories of monumental battles in American history. North brings to life the heroic and sometimes gruesome World War II battles from the Pacific. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - WWII History at its' BestWar Stories II is a must have for history buffs or novices alike. First hand accounts along with maps and excellent research lead you through the war in the Pacific step by step. The war in the Pacific was especially bloody and costly simply because we were fighting an enemy that preferred death to defeat. The Geneva Conventions Accord meant nothing to the Japanese. You will feel just about every emotion available to you. My feelings were anger, disgust and shock. War is a terrible thing but ... Read More Rating: - About Heroes and Written by OneA wonderful book with a DVD containing interviews of some of the greatest generation who fought for our future. Dopes like Joseph from San Diego, who put down Lt. Colonel North, would'nt know a heroe if he had to spit on one. Physical cowards like Joseph show the weakness of the younger generation. I was in the Marines and know how honorable people like my WWII Colonel grandfather and his kind are. You liberals live your spoiled lives because of people like him, the ones in this book, and Lt. Colonel ... Read More Rating:  - Oliver goes southWhat would Oliver North be able to tell us about honor?

I'm sure that one story of WWII valor that goes unrecalled in Ollie's book is that of Congressional Medal of Honor winner Senator Daniel Inoue of Hawaii. After all, Senator Inoue (who lost an arm during fighting in Italy while serving with the legendary Japanese-American 442 Regiment) ...

It's an excellent history filled with detail and insight that I think only an ex-combat marine would see. Very readable and interesting. A very decent work that will personalize the battles that more academic historians write about. Rating: - Great snapshot of the war on JapanFor someone who has forgotten many of the details of the pacific war with Japan, this was an excellent refresher on the battles, the key events, and the struggles that took place in a part of the war that is often overshadowed by the European theater. More than that, it is a snapshot of the feeling, emotions, sights and smells of the battlefield, of heroism, and of fear. I quite enjoyed North's easy writing style, and his ability to cut to the quick of a battle or an event. This is not ... Read More |
