Synopsis
Writer Martin J. Kidston tells the story of Montana's 163rd Infantry Regiment in the Pacific in World War II through interviews with the survivors themselves. These Montanans offer their personal stories accumulated during the five years they spent at war with Japan following the historic bombing of Pearl Harbor. The former soldiers share their sometimes humorous, frequently chilling, and always fascinating accounts as they traveled from their small hometowns in Montana to the jungles of Papua New Guinea, the coast of Australia, and the islands of the Philippines.

Review
Martin Kidston's moving account of the 163rd Infantry Regiment's actions in the Pacific theater during World War II allows us to remember and honor the remarkable men of this Montana Regiment. ---Robert R. Swartout, Jr., Professor and Chair, Department of History, Carroll College
Martin Kidston is in the X ring with this carefully documented account of the 163rd Infantry Regiment in the steamy, infested jungles of the Pacific. Meeting and vanquishing the seasoned troops of the Japanese Imperial Army provided the very first major victory in that theatre of operations. This documentary of gallantry, service, and sacrifice gives the reader a good look at his friends and neighbors who went to war...and those who didn't come back. ---R. F. (Bob) Morgan, Curator Emeritus, Board of Trustees, Montana Historical Society
