Description:
The Pacific: Hell Was an Ocean Away is the official companion book to the acclaimed The Pacific, expanding on the real-life stories that inspired the series. Hugh Ambrose chronicles the intertwined wartime experiences of U.S. Marines Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone as they fought brutal campaigns across Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Drawing from letters, interviews, and military records, this volume offers a vivid, human-scale account of combat in the Pacific Theater during World War II.

Why we love this book:
This is a documented first printing tied directly to one of HBO’s most ambitious and respected historical productions. It bridges military history and film history beautifully, making it especially appealing to collectors of WWII narratives, Ambrose-related works, and HBO prestige productions.
