Feather Merchant by Bernard Duane Enarson I: lovingly presented by his daughter Cheri Lea Duffy Feature
In the fall of 1941, while the engines of war are being stoked, a young man from Iowa joins the U.S. Marine Corps and enters boot camp. While he is in training, the United States is attacked at Pearl Harbor. The young man is swept up into worldwide events, traveling throughout the Pacific theater as the Americans engage and proceed against the Japanese.
A vivid, firsthand account of war at the ground level, Feather Merchant describes in detail the combat experiences of a young Marine in World War II. From the aftermath of the destruction in Pearl Harbor to the gruesome carnage and suffering of the Battle of Guadalcanal, the young man deals with the brutality and struggles to maintain his sense of reality and identity. Filled with gorgeous, amazing settings such as Hawaii, New Hebrides, New Zealand, and the Solomon Islands, Feather Merchant delights and horrifies with its detailed accounts of the daily life of a regular U.S. Marine at war.
