Bring your listeners a new perspective on the incredible sacrifice in the overlooked Pacific Campaign of World War II.

Independent Minds: At War in the Pacific storms onto the islands spread across 5,000 miles of ocean that would turn into a tropical hell.  From inside the foxholes discover the story of young and idealistic Marines; John Basilone, Robert Leckie, Sydney Phillips and E.B. Sledge, as they come of age in weeks and months of searing combat.   

David D’Arcy hosts this compelling radio hour.

We hear how the Pacific conflict shaped the lives of these Marines and course of our nation.  We meet the friends and relatives who shouldered the burden state-side.  From historians Donald Miller and Richard Frank, we comprehend what those battles meant – then and now.  Filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks share the challenges of bringing new light and depth to a major historic event.
