NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.In honor of the 75th Anniversary of one of the most critical battles of World War II, the popular primetime Fox News anchor of The Story with Martha MacCallum pays tribute to the heroic men who sacrificed everything at Iwo Jima to defeat the Armed Forces of Emperor Hirohito—among them, a member of her own family, Harry Gray.Admiral Chester Nimitz spoke of the “uncommon valor” of the men who fought on Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest and most brutal battles of World War II. In thirty-six grueling days, nearly 7,000 Marines were killed and 22,000 were wounded.Martha MacCallum takes us from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima through the lives of these men of valor, among them Harry Gray, a member of her own family.In Unknown Valor, she weaves their stories—from Boston, Massachusetts, to Gulfport, Mississippi, as told through letters and recollections—into the larger history of what American military leaders rightly saw as an eventual showdown in the Pacific with Japan. In a relentless push through the jungles of Guadalcanal, over the coral reefs of Tarawa, past the bloody ridge of Peleliu, against the banzai charges of Guam, and to the cliffs of Saipan, these men were on a path that ultimately led to the black sands of Iwo Jima, the doorstep of the Japanese Empire.Meticulously researched, heart-wrenching, and illuminating, Unknown Valor reveals the sacrifices of ordinary Marines who saved the world from tyranny and left indelible marks on those back home who loved them.

This book is poignant and powerful and the author's descriptions are so vivid one will feel as though they are witnessing these incidents first hand. A gamut of emotions flooded me ...tears for the fallen and happiness for those that survived. A truly incredible read.It begins with Pearl Harbor and the jubilant sailors enjoying liberty at a big band style competition...This was my first indication of the imagery that would be portrayed throughout this book. 7 DEC 1941....'Tora, Tora, Tora' and the Japanese have managed to complete this act of war on the US. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's complete speech to the House of Representatives is included. We are familiar with some of his words but seeing it in its entirety is sobering.Descriptions are detailed and in depth, as well, and the incident with the sailors entrapped in the air bubble for such a length of time will give the reader goose bumps. Vivid and heart rendering. Major battles are covered in detail; letters home are mentioned; memories of survivors from Iwo Jima are recounted. Winston Churchill's visit with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in December of 1941 is recalled, as well. Interesting to read about this meeting. I would be remiss if I didn't mention LCOL Doolittle and the B-25's. Another feat that was unheard of in this era.As a reader, this book is so well balanced with both the war actions in both Europe and the Pacific that it stands head and shoulders above any other I have read previously. I love the fact that the members of the US Marine Corps are depicted as the warriors they are. love of country, love of their comrades in arms and life long commitment to the Corps. Semper Fi...Poignant and powerful read for me. Just imagine being able to write about your Uncle Harry and his Marine Corps buddies. Sacrifice, heroism, and love of country... A must read for those interested in WW II from the beginning to the end.Most highly recommended.
