Goodbye, Darkness: A Memoir of the Pacific War

 

by William Manchester (1922-2004)

Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1980

401 pages

He tells all of his story, the good, the bad, and the really hard to read parts.

Reading Goodbye, Darkness means watching another man’s nightmare in slow motion.
