About the Book
Find out the real story behind the historical battle and how Iwo Jima became a symbol of the war in the Pacific. Told by the 96 year-old veteran himself, this book not only gives you little known historical facts about Iwo Jima, but also rarely shared stories of boot camp, training, going into and surviving combat.
A Blessed Life – One World War II Seabee’s Story was written by veteran Stuart McAnally’s daughter, who conducted 34 interviews on which she based the book.
This historically accurate account was thoroughly researched and corroborated by fellow Seabee’s, war-time records, written artifacts, and photographs, many of which are included in the book. This unusual account also gives the reader a glimpse of life during the Great Depression and WW II eras that is not often explored.
Driven by a passion to save not only her family’s history, but the day-to-day experiences of our soldiers, sailors, and airmen during one of the most important periods in our nation’s history, Bolton invites us to share in the stories that helped shape The Greatest Generation.
