Battle Cry

In Battle Cry, Leon Uris delivers a powerful, pulse-pounding tribute to the U.S. Marines who fought across the Pacific in World War II. Drawing on his own wartime experience, Uris brings to life a vivid brotherhood of young men—raw recruits transformed by boot camp, bound by loyalty, and forged in the crucible of battle. From the camaraderie of the barracks to the terror and triumph of front-line combat, Battle Cry captures both the grit and the heart of America’s fighting forces. Epic, authentic, and deeply human, it stands as one of the most compelling war novels ever written, honoring the courage and sacrifice of a generation.
