PRAISE FOR DEVIL DOGS
'Exquisite detail...subtly textured... the Pacific War is rendered in painful and poignant detail... A narrative that reads like war in real time. It's war unplugged: cruelty, destruction, pain, but also love, kindness and camaraderie. I cried for these men and then thanked God that I will never have to send my son to war.' Times
'Brilliant... A chronicle that is part Hollwood film-script, but never less than vigorously researched history. David has a claim to be our finest military historian... Superb'
'Daily Telegraph
'David recounts in this stirring saga the WWII campaigns of Company K, the 1st Marine Division unit ... Skillfully plumbing the rich array of firsthand accounts by Company K veterans, David vividly describes pillbox raids, accidental deaths, and hellish jungle conditions, and draws incisive portraits of Marine officers and their command decisions. The result is a captivating chronicle of the war in the Pacific'
