Goodbye, Darkness

Based on a recommendation at Stop the Bleating, I went to the library and got a copy of Goodbye, Darkness by William Manchester. The book describes his experience as a Marine in the Pacific Theater during WWII, intermingled with his present-day (well, late ’70s, when it was written) visits to various battle sites.

I enjoyed the book, and I also enjoyed Manchester’s biographies of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Winston Churchill. I highly recommend them, although you must remember that I have strange tastes.

    Huh? You certainly can’t prove your strange-taste credentials by liking Manchester on Churchill–wonderful books, wonderfully written, on a fascinating subject!

    Yeah, but you gotta click on the link in the post!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
