Battle Cry is the riveting Marine epic by the bestselling author of such classics as Trinity and Exodus.
Originally published in 1953, Leon Uris's Battle Cry is the raw and exciting story of men at war from a legendary American author.
This is the story of enlisted men – Marines – at the beginning of World War II. They are a rough–and–ready tangle of guys from America's cities and farms and reservations. Led by a tough veteran sergeant, these soldiers band together to emerge as part of one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. With staggering realism and detail, we follow them into intense battles – Guadalcanal and Tarawa – and through exceptional moments of camaraderie and bravery. Battle Cry does not extol the glories of war, but proves itself to be one of the greatest war stories of all time.

Great story of the marines
One of my favorite books of all time. I've read this one more than once. The pride of doing something great for the country, and the horror of what war really means.
Battle Cry
A most interesting read. An historically based account of the 6th Marine Division in their battles in the South Pacific during World War Two. Although the characters are fictional, Leon Uris portraits them in such a manner that the reader can identify. The USMC in the early days. I am in my 6th reading.
