OverviewOriginally penned for his Marine buddies, now, WWII veteran Chuck Tatum's coveted book, Red Blood, Black Sand, is available to audiences worldwide. Red Blood, Black Sand, is Chuck's true story, his first-hand account of Iwo Jima, the Marine Corps' most savage battle. Best-selling author/historian Stephen E. Ambrose praised Red Blood, Black Sand, saying, In my judgment no combat veterans' memoir is better . . . and only a handful are equal. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg agreed, and bought the rights to use Red Blood, Black Sand as a credited source for their new, $200-million-dollar HBO mini-series, The Pacific. In addition, they made Chuck Tatum a central character of the series, portrayed by actor Ben Esler. Red Blood, Black Sand, transports the reader back to 1944, when the Marine Corps built a fresh division, the 5th, for an apocalyptic battle: Iwo Jima. This gripping narrative follows Chuck's life-or-death training at Camp Pendleton where Chuck learned machine guns, the tools of his trade, from his new mentor: Medal of Honor recipient John Basilone. Chuck's colorful storytelling takes the reader on his voyage overseas, from the raucous port of Pearl Harbor with its gambling, gals, and tattoos, to the island of death itself, where Chuck hit the black sand beach of Iwo Jima, an 18-year-old Marine machine gunner in the climactic battle of the war. This is the story of Chuck's two weeks in hell, where he fought alongside Basilone and watched his hero fall, where enemy infiltrators stalked the night and snipers haunted the day, and where Chuck would see his friends whittled away in an ear-shattering, earth-shaking, meat grinder of a battle.Before the end, Chuck would find himself, like his hero Basilone, standing alone, blind with rage, firing a machine gun from the hip, while in a personal battle to keep his sanity. This is the island, the heroes, and the tragedy of Iwo Jima, through the eyes of the battle's greatest storyteller, Chuck Tatum. Includes new bonus chapters: Chuck's thoughts on The Pacific series and actor Ben Esler's On Set Memories of Portraying Chuck Tatum.
