Back to books
Ships From Hell by Raymond Lamont-Brown. Many errors of fact and truth frequently sacrificed the make for more "florid" writing
Best book on this subject- "Death on the Hell Ships" by Greg Michno

Hotel Tacloban- Pure fiction made for Hollywood- often passed off as relatively truthful. All copies should be burned.

Marines Don't Cry -Martin Boyle- unmitigated hogwash written to make a movie. Saddest part is that if he was truthful, it would have made for a better story and an important contribution to history.
