Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of World War II, a distinguished rabbi transforms from a pacifist scholar to a Navy chaplain following Pearl Harbor. As the first rabbi with the Marine Corps, he witnesses the harrowing battle of Iwo Jima. His experiences culminate in a powerful speech at the dedication of the 5th Marine Division cemetery, earning it the title of "the Gettysburg Address of World War II." The narrative explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and the profound impact of war on personal beliefs.
