The River Wartime Biography Paperback Book by Jeff Sutton Military Drama 1962
The dramatic account of a forgotten squad of marines
When they first saw the river they knew that this was where the final bloody battle would take place.
The battleground was a furnace-hot jungle split in two by a deadly, silent by river. It was called the Matanikau but the men in the squad had another name for it. River of Blood. Waiting across the river was the Emperor's best ... the Sendai Division. That gripping fact made the river no place for heroes. But after months of fighting there were no heroes left ... only killers.
A gifted new novelist's electrifying account of valor in the steaming jungles of Guadalcanal, one that combines a first-rate study of fear a trenchant account of the daily acts of killing and dying.
