Back Cover: In 1942, as American blood is about to be spilled in Guadalcanal, a
young man boards a train and blindly heads towards his destiny: boot camp
with the United States Marine Corps. These tragic times were the defining
years for millions of cowboys and plowboys. This book is a compelling
chronicle about these years and one not-so-ordinary young man.
Dutch Clarke, over the objections of
his prominent family, answers his country’s call. Just as he is about
to complete boot camp, family influence steps in and propels him through
the ranks and into the Office of War Information. Here he puts down his
rifle and takes up photography. Soon Dutch learns the power of the lens
and the courage to use it.
This is a uniquely different war story
about men who fought their way across the Pacific, not with guns but
with cameras. This tapestry covers more than just guns and bullets; it
is also about prejudice, friendship and the ultimate sacrifice.
After surviving a Japanese POW camp and
a daring escape, Dutch is given the opportunity to be one of the first
American photographers to set foot on homeland Japan … here he turns
his assignment from reconnaissance to revenge. This story is as fresh as
today’s headlines and as true as yesterday’s sins.
