 | | In Goodbye Darkness, Manchester writes of his personal experiences during World War II in the Pacific theatre of operations, and the experiences of the Marines in general. |
 | | To understand his own role in a part of World War II that is often overshadowed by the European conflict, Manchester visited all the major battle areas of the Pacific theatre of operations: Pearl Harbour, Guadalcanal, New Guinea, Tarawa, Peleliu, The Phillipines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. |
 | | Fighting in the Pacific theatre was extremely rigorous, and Manchester does a great job of making us feel the stupefying tiredness in sitting in a ship offshore, waiting to land on a defended beach, or trying to dig a foxhole from coral, or hacking your way along the Kokoda trail in New Guinea. |
