About the original book:

Martha MacCallum’s Unknown Valor is both a personal exploration of war and heroism as well as a detailed recounting of several of the most strategic successes in the American campaign against Japanese imperialist expansion during the Second World War. MacCallum relays the grueling details of such critical battles as Tarawa and Saipan, and the narrative culminates in the harrowing story of the months spent fighting for Iwo Jima. Whether you are well-versed in World War II history or you’re a casual listener curious about the lives of those who fought for our freedom, you will find Unknown Valor a moving tale of heroism that is expertly told.
