Product Description

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.



From the Publisher

Moving, shocking, tense, and glorious, here is a magnificent saga of men at war--Leon Uris's famous novel about life in the jaws of death, in the U.S. Marine Corps. Here are the men from the cities, farms, and whistle-stops. Here are the tough kids and the mama's boys, the liars and the lovers, the goldbricks and the heroes. Here are the men who made up the most courageous fighting force on the face of he earth--in the best novel about them ever written.

"Raw, tough, and unvarnished . . . Don't miss it!"--Kirkus Reviews --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 raw and tough, Mai 18 2004
Par Eric Howard "veteran" (kansas city, mo. United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Battle Cry (Paperback)
This is Leon Uris's first novel. It's not perfect, but it is a great window back in time to WWII and also to the 1950's (when the book was written) view of America. The book goes from the first person to third very effectivly, which can be distracting under a lesser author. The book's weakest area is the stereo typing of the characters, the marine squad is made up of a firery hispanic, an all American farm boy, an indian called Chief who speaks like a B-movie indian, and a lumberjack who's tough but with a heart as big as the all out doors. But these weaknesses bring us back in time to the era. The book takes us in combat at Guadalcanel, liberty in New Zealand, than to Tarawa. The discription of the Betio island fight is historical fiction at it's best. The book follows our squad through the Tarawa atoll's lesser known islands and climax's at the Japanses last stand on the final island. If you've seen the movie than you will be very surprised at the ammout of combat in this book. The squad's final action is the blood bath at the Saipan beach. Leon Uris was a screen writer and the final page at the the train station, with the news barker yelling about the Iwo Jima fight is a perfect scene of a marine coming home. This book, with all it's faults, is the best novel of the Corps in WWII.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Battle Cry, Avril 24 2002
Par "danielmadera" (Oceanside, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Battle Cry (Paperback)
This novel is probably the closest a fiction novel can get to describing "life in the Corps". I recommend it to veterens of any service, Active duty personnel who need more motivation, and to anyone who loves military history. The story carries you from the time Daniel talks to a recruiter until after the Island hopping campaigns of the Marines are through. READ THIS BOOK!!!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent yarn about the boys in green!, Oct. 4 2001
Par Sonterro (Lakeland, Florida USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Battle Cry (Paperback)
This is a well done story. A little dated, but still a good story. It is told from several points of view. Primarily from the squad sargeant who is a Marine from the pre-war years.

I read it when I was younger and really enjoyed. I picked it up this time out of curiosity. I'm glad I did.

It's also a good history lesson about the morals and ideals of this period in time.
