Leaving Mac Behind

“This book is highly recommended for the training of Marines and sailors in personnel accountability and mortuary affairs. It is also a key historical account in understanding sea denial and sea control in great power competition between the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Imperial Japan during World War II.”– “Marine Corps History”“For anyone interested in the history of Guadalcanal or the Solomon Islands, this book will be essential reading and should be added to your library.”– “Pacific Wreck”“These Marines are called “missing” or “not recovered” and thus are remembered only by survivors’ memories and names on memorials around the United States and Pacific island sites. Roecker’s book is a poignant, compelling reminder that every one of them still waits be returned home.“– “Proceedings - U.S. Naval Institute”
