Description

by Edward G. Waller (Author)

Experience a young marine's harrowing horrors and heartwarming honors in the 1940s through wartime and peace. His true account comes from the pages of a personal diary 60+ years old.

On August 21, 1942, 20-year-old Edward G. Waller enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. Over the next three years, the memories created on distant foreign shores and seas will never be forgotten.

In Now Hear This: Secure From General Quarters A Marine's Diary, Edward's family has released his personal accounts of World War II, and the unique part he had to play.

Not only does Now Hear This cover Edward's service with the famed Black Sheep Squadron VMF 214 under the command of the legendary Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington in 1943-it also includes the jaw-dropping account of surviving the worst naval disaster in the history of the United States Navy. He was aboard the aircraft carrier USS Franklin on March 19, 1945, when the Japanese forces bombed and heavily damaged the ship, killing over 800 crewmen.

Finally, it also chronicles the beautiful love story between Edward and Betty, who weathered a global crisis together before they got the chance to marry and start their family.

Like many other servicemen, Edward's service was filled with many incidents, varying from laugh-out-loud moments of relief to the extreme horrors of war. Throughout his life, he never forgot the flashbacks, the painful experiences, or the emotional and physical scars he received through WWII. The personal experiences offered to readers in Now Hear This provides an intimate look at the moments of war most are lucky not to endure.
