"Martha MacCallum has written a wonderful book on the bravery and sacrifices of those who 'island-hopped' from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima. Part family memoir, part personal history of small-town America at war, and part chronicle of Marine amphibious landings from 1942 to 1945, Unknown Valor is a beautifully written and stirring reminder to present generations that much of what we now take for granted was given to us by the sacrifices of those whom we must never forget."

In honor of the 75th Anniversary of one of the most critical battles of World War II, the popular primetime Fox News anchor of The Story with Martha MacCallum pays tribute to the heroic men who sacrificed everything at Iwo Jima to defeat the Armed Forces of Emperor Hirohito--among them, a member of her own family, Harry Gray.
Admiral Chester Nimitz spoke of the "uncommon valor" of the men who fought on Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest and most brutal battles of World War II. In thirty-six grueling days, nearly 7,000 Marines were killed and 22,000 were wounded.
Martha MacCallum takes us from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima through the lives of these men of valor, among them Harry Gray, a member of her own family.
In Unknown Valor, she weaves their stories--from Boston, Massachusetts, to Gulfport, Mississippi, as told through letters and recollections--into the larger history of what American military leaders rightly saw as an eventual showdown in the Pacific with Japan. In a relentless push through the jungles of Guadalcanal, over the coral reefs of Tarawa, past the bloody ridge of Peleliu, against the banzai charges of Guam, and to the cliffs of Saipan, these men were on a path that ultimately led to the black sands of Iwo Jima, the doorstep of the Japanese Empire.
Meticulously researched, heart-wrenching, and illuminating, Unknown Valor reveals the sacrifices of ordinary Marines who saved the world from tyranny and left indelible marks on those back home who loved them.

REVIEWS:
"Martha MacCallum's Unknown Valor is an elegantly written and deeply researched history of how the U.S. Army and Marines won the Pacific theater island-hopping campaign in the Second World War. The sheer heroism of these American fighters on the battlefield is staggering. Every page soars with gritty realism and patriotic perseverance. A powerful saga about the greatest generation!"

"Martha MacCallum has written a magnificent history, at once a sweeping and fresh account of one of the most dramatic chapters in our past--and an intimate portrait of all that's best and most heroic in the American spirit."
Sohrab Ahmari, op-ed editor, New York Post

" Unknown Valor is at once so gripping and moving about the war in the Pacific that I lost several nights sleep, refusing to go to bed until I'd read it all. The book blends fascinating details of Martha MacCallum's family's personal story and sacrifice, and the touching moments of hope and family life add a special flavor to the story. Even though we all know how the war ends, what we gain from the book is a deeper appreciation for the scope and scale of the patriotism, dreams, and heartache that lived on. Unknown Valor is a triumph."

Very soft, full, and versatile! Potential game changer for my bed!
Size: Body(Pack of 1), Color: White
I am so happy with this pillow! I have a really hard time getting comfortable in bed-especially with pillows-and I’ve struggled with sleep since childhood. But this pillow is so comfortable-it’s such a great, happy surprise! The material allows my head and neck to sink in, but with support! I’m not using it against my body, but instead, have it lying on top of and across the length of all my other pillows and almost magically, I can turn over without having to do a whole bunch of squishing and adjusting the pillows! It’s like it somehow balances itself exactly right. Years ago, I had a body pillow and used it to lie against, the length of my body-but using it as a full-length “top pillow,” instead, was such a good idea, I can’t believe it was mine! Really, super happy with this!

Great for Side Sleepers
Size: Body(Pack of 1), Color: White
This body pillow is super comfy and supportive. I love that the shredded memory foam is adjustable, so I can make it just right for side sleeping. The cover is soft, breathable, and easy to wash. It really helps with shoulder and hip support, great for side sleepers. The quality is awesome and worth the price.

Adjustable Support for Side Sleeping
Size: Body(Pack of 1), Color: White
The pillow is long and full, filled with shredded memory foam, and the cover feels smooth with a sturdy zipper. When I adjusted the fill, the foam shifted easily and settled without clumping, which made it simple to fine-tune the firmness.
I ordered this pillow for extra joint support. In use, it stayed in place overnight and kept my hips and shoulders better aligned, especially when sleeping on my side. Memory foam naturally contours to pressure, which helps with joint support, but it can also hold a bit of warmth after several hours. The washable cover came off cleanly and went back on without stretching. It performed consistently and felt comfortable for daily sleep, and the adjustable fill and stable support explain the positive overall evaluation. This is a long pillow and takes up a lot of space, but it's comfortable and durable and easy to use. (Review is for HOMELAB Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Body Pillow, 20x54 Long Pillow for Back)

Worth every penny
Size: Body Pillow & Pillowcase, Color: White
This thing is awesome. The pillow case is super soft too. You do need to let it unfold and air it out a bit, it’s present but not overwhelming but I think that applies to similar products. I use it when I lounge in bed. I have a king-size bed. I put it under my knees when I lay down and lay back, propped up a bit to watch movies. It’s perfect.

Better than snuggling a spouse.
Size: Body Pillow & Pillowcase, Color: White
This pillow is, can I say, 'dreamy?' It is so cushy and the cover is like buttery soft velvet. I was afraid it would be lumpy with the shredded foam filling, but it's not at all. It holds its shape and ensures a good nights' sleep. One thing, the box it came in said "Feather and Down," which almost made me send it back unopened, thinking they sent the wrong item. The pillow comes shrink-wrapped into an unbelievably small size, so there's little chance of getting it back in the box once opened. It does puff up to full size in just a matter of a couple minutes. Great purchase.
