"A superbly researched, riveting story of one of the most violent battles in American history. Read it and weep for those magnificent American fighting men."-- Harold G. Moore, coauthor of We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young, "You'll read it with sweaty palms and an aching heart. . . . The battle is a classic, and Sloan's book does it justice."--The Washington Post Book World, "Sloan expertly captures the enduring greatness of American soldiers sent to fight against impossible odds."-- W. E. B. Griffin, author of the Brotherhood of War novels, "You'll read it with sweaty palms and an aching heart. . . . The battle is a classic, and Sloan's book does it justice."-- "The Washington Post Book World", "What a riveting story Bill Sloan tells in Brotherhood of Heroes. The U.S. Marines at Peleliu were braver than brave. Sloan captures the rank horror of combat in the Pacific Theater -- and the valor of our armed forces -- with stunning verve, dramatic anecdotes, and impeccable research. A towering achievement." -- Douglas Brinkley, author of Tour of Duty and director of the Theodore Roosevelt Center at Tulane University, "A superbly researched, riveting story of one of the most violent battles in American history. Read it and weep for those magnificent American fighting men."-- Harold G. Moore, coauthor of "We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young", "Peleliu was one of the most brutal -- some would say the most brutal -- battles of the Pacific war. Yet it has always been overshadowed by more famous engagements, such as Iwo Jima and Leyte Gulf. In Brotherhood of Heroes, Bill Sloan elevates the battle of Peleliu into the first rank of Pacific war history, where it belongs. A splendid achievement and an absorbing read."-- Jeffrey Hunt, curator, Admiral Nimitz National Museum of the Pacific War, "Superbly crafted . . . Sloan takes the reader straight into the hell of the beach landing, firefights and hand-to-hand combat, drawing from the memories of Marines who overcame their worst fears, did their duty and somehow survived."-- Si Dunn,The Dallas Morning News, "Peleliu was one of the most brutal -- some would say the most brutal -- battles of the Pacific war.

Griffin, author of the Brotherhood of War novels, "Bill Sloan has told the wrenching personal stories of U.S. Marines who gave their lives and blood in World War II on a Pacific island that nobody knew or cared about. More striking is the fact that nobody knows or cares now about those Marines and that island. This book should change that forever. On another level, Brotherhood of Heroes should be read by everyone who contemplates going or sending others to war." -- Jim Lehrer, host of The News Hour on PBS, "Bill Sloan has told the wrenching personal stories of U.S. Marines who gave their lives and blood in World War II on a Pacific island that nobody knew or cared about.
