Description:

Peter Richmond was only seven when his dad was killed in an accident, but he knew that his father had been a war hero. Richmond, a sports writer and author of Ballpark: Camden Yards and the Building of an American Dream, set out to discover the story behind that two-word description. He researched official war histories, and his dad's letters, interviewed those who knew his dad in the Marines, and visited the sites of the three major battles his father fought in the Pacific, at Guadalcanal, New Britain and Peleliu. Included too are his own childhood memories of his dad at home in Westchester County. A cogent and informative memoir.
