With unprecedented access to the veterans, rare photographs, and unpublished memoirs, Voices of the Pacific presents true stories of heroism as told by such World War II veterans as Sid Phillips, R. V. Burgin, and Chuck Tatum . . .

Press, Adam Makos is the author of the New York
Times bestseller A Higher Call, Spearhead, and the
critically-acclaimed Devotion. Inspired by his grandfathers’
service, Adam chronicles the stories of American veterans in
his trademark fusion of intense human drama and close-up
military action, securing his place “in the top ranks of
military writers,” according to the Los Angeles Times.
In the course of his research, Adam has flown a WWII
bomber, accompanied a Special Forces raid in Iraq, and journeyed
into North Korea in search of an MIA American serviceman.
