review

Excellent, May 25, 2002

Reviewer: A reader from United States

This book tells the story of Mexican-American soldiers who gave their lives for their country in WWII and Vietnam. (Many fought in Korea too.) A large number were awarded the Cogressional Medal of Honor.

Unfortunately their contributions have been purged from popular movies and current best selling books about Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.

This book is long overdue.

Saipan: Suicide Island by "Guy Gabaldon", the maverick Marine is now a sale to read. This book is based on the true story of Guy during the battle of Saipan.

The book will sell for $22.00(including shipping and handling). Anyone desiring this book, please forward check or money order payable to Guy Gabaldon and mail to:

Beyond Courage: One Regiment Against...

A vivid narrative of the men of New Mexico's 200th and 515th Coast Artillery (AA) units. Cave skillfully tells a story of hardship, bravery, unspeakable treatment, and a never-dying belief that their country would liberate them. They were the first unit to fire on the enemy in the Philippines and the last organized unit to lay down their arms when...

(note: Bataan: The 200th and 515 Coast Artillery units were from the New Mexico National Guard, which had a heavy representation of Hispanic officers and enlisted men. They had been selected because of their combat readiness, and also many of the men in the unit spoke Spanish, a principal language of the Philippines.Upon their arrival, they became the largest single American military unit in the Philippines. See our Bataan, World War IIsite.)
