Al Schmid, Marine (Classic Reprint)

Description: Al Schmid, Marine (Classic Reprint) [Hardcover] Roger Butterfield Product Overview This book tells the true story of Al Schmid, a young man who grew up in the countryside and joined the Marines after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Al's letters home from boot camp and advanced training are full of humor and bravado, but his experiences on the front lines of the Guadalcanal campaign are harrowing and traumatic. He fights valiantly, is promoted, and decorated for bravery, but also loses an eye and suffers a serious head wound. After returning home, Al struggles to adjust to civilian life and rebuild his shattered body and mind. This book is a powerful and unforgettable account of the horrors of war and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Pacific theater of World War II, the history of the United States Marine Corps, or the psychology of combat.
