Days of Steel Rain - by Brent E Jones

The epic true story of Americans at war, Days of Steel Rain, follows an unlikely group of men as they face an increasingly desperate enemy during the final year of World War II.

This gripping narrative weaves an intimate portrait of leadership, heroism, endurance, and redemption through secret diaries, memoirs, letters, interpersonal conflicts, and innermost thoughts of the Astoria men.

With more than 80 photographs never before published, this book brings to life the singular drama of a captain grappling with an untested crew and men who had endured enough amidst some of the most brutal fighting of World War II.
