Final Storm by Jeff Shaara.

Jeff Shaara has done it again. The Final Storm is his fourth war novel on World War II and focuses on the Pacific War. He writes mostly about the battle of Okinawa and the dropping of the atomic bomb.  He tells his story through the eyes of the participants and does it well. It is a quick read that makes the reader experience the horrors of war. His first three WWII books were on N. Africa, D-Day and the push to the end of the war and focused on the Army. This book focuses on the Marines and the Navy as they worked their way up the chain of islands toward Japan. Shaara's father wrote the classic war novel, The Killer Angels, and Jeff follows in his steps with books on the Civil War, World War I and his four books on WWII. I highly recommend it to those interested in historical fiction, war and adventure.
