?I highly recommend The Devil's Anvil for anyone interested in
World War II military history. By relying on the oral accounts of
survivors, Hallas paints a particularly vivid portrait of a very
violent struggle accentuated by many individual acts of
heroism.?-Military Intelligence
?James H. Hallas has performed a service by adding to the limited
amount of good material available on Peleliu.?-Leatherneck
?The author has skillfully woven together both operational facts
and personal recollections to create a highly readable story of the
battle.?-Marine Corps Gazette
?The Devil's Anvil brings to the forefront the human struggle that
is indicative of not only war, but of a battle that was forgotten
even before it was printed in the annals of history. From the eyes
of famous men like Colonel Lewis Puller down to the lowest private,
Hallas has offered military buffs and serious academicians alike an
opportunity to experience what it was like to be a U.S. Marine in
the South Pacific. This book is an essential part to any WWII
library.?-Military
