Hell To Eternity by Edward S. Aarons Copyright 1960, k1455 Fawcett Publications A Gold Medal Book The powerful story of the slum-bred kid whose row courage in the caves of Saipan will live forever as one of the glories of the U.S. Marine Corps. "Hell to Eternity" is an adaptation of a screenplay based on actual events from World War II. While the incidents described in the book are based on true occurrences, they have been significantly altered and embellished over the years: events from 1944 were told to a screenwriter 15 years later and then transformed into a novel by a renowned action author. This is great news for readers seeking an exhilarating war story that diverges from the traditional high school history narrative. The fact that the protagonist was a real individual only adds to the appeal. In love and war... These were the quiet hours-the last uneasy calm before the storm of battle. These were the final hours- when a man could forget his fear. Pages in unmarked condition. Cover has minor wear, some light chipping at edges and corners.
