This is the masterful retelling of the story of a young, rural Oklahoma boy coming of age as a soldier in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It explores the depth of his family relationships and dedication to his brotherhood, reading more like a work of fiction than a traditional biographical account.

Ralph Marsh spent 33 years in daily newspaper work in Oklahoma and Kansas, becoming the youngest newspaper executive in the state of Kansas at the Topeka Capital-Journal, a writer and editor for The Associated Press, Capital correspondent for the Tulsa Tribune and a prize-winning contributing editor of Oklahoma Today magazine. Gene Stipe served his region of Oklahoma in the state legislature for more than 50 years, all the while collecting stories from those surrounding him.
"For all those years growing up, for all those bitter-cold blistering hot days of the year following Pearl Harbor, the boy realized, he had been aimed at this hole chipped into the black coral of a Pacific island as if guided by a compass. He chuckled wryly. For the most memorable Christmas of his life, he had turned thief. For the second, he had killed a human being."
