    My husband, Carl Lyren, was a WWII Marine combat veteran and professional writer who authored a definitive account of the horrific battle for Peleliu in the South Pacific. Last year, Amazon Kindle published his book, "Dogged Courage: The Struggle for Peleliu, 1944." It is a detailed description of one of the most forgotten battles of the Pacific, and includes original interviews with battle participants and planners, as well as material from action reports, narratives, war diaries, and Japanese sources.

    It is a worthy book, and I want it read, so I am making "Dogged Courage" available FOR FREE in honor of our veterans on the days leading up to Veterans Day and the Marine Corps Birthday. It can be read on Kindle e-readers, or on any phone, tablet, or computer that has the free Kindle app installed. The book can be downloaded for free from Amazon between November 7-11 at the following link:

    Feel free to share this link with others. Semper Fi!

    I was at Peleliu in '85, appropriately enough on USS Peleliu. We landed on the southeast side and walked to the village, northwest side. Walking through the jungle I kept thinking "bleep this, bleep this, bleep this." We had veterans of the fight with us. One active duty man to a veteran. My guy was breathing very hard at times.

    Dear Mrs. Lyren, It is most kind of you to make this book free for Veteran's day. I definitely will order and read, and I hope many do, but I will wait for the normal price to occur to honor your husband for what he went through for our country.

    The link about does not work for me but if you go to Amazon and paste
    Dogged Courage: The Struggle for Peleliu, 1944
    by Carl Lyren

    It will come up as free.
