Bloody Beaches: Marines Die Hard

0/5 ( ratings)

"Come on you sinners, hell is only half full!"

That was the battle cry of Marine Captain Cal Hobbes as he led his countless, seemingly suicidal charges in World War II. On island after island -- Guam, Okinawa, Tarawa, Iwo Jima -- his platoon always won their battles, no matter what the cost. Because for Hobbes, no sacrifice was too great, as long as someone else made it.

To the American public and the Marine brass, he was a hero. To Lt. Don Avery, his second in command, he was a God. To his men, he was the Devil. To barmaid Bonnie Armstrong, he was unmistakably a man. To aristocratic Valerie Todd, he was still an idealistic boy who failed to realize that a lady could have the same needs as a barmaid.

This is the vivid, action-packed story of Captain Hobbes -- man and soldier, God and Devil -- and of the U.S. Marines who gave their all to serve their country, told by Delano Stagg, the pseudonym of two highly decorated soldiers who lived it.
