The true story of R.V. Burgin, the real-life World War II Marine Corps hero featured in HBO(R)'s The Pacific. "Read his story and marvel at the man...and those like him."--Tom HanksWhen a young Texan named R.V. Burgin joined the Marines 1942, he never imagined what was waiting for him a world away in the Pacific. There, amid steamy jungles, he encountered a ferocious and desperate enemy in the Japanese, engaging them in some of the most grueling and deadly fights of the war. In this remarkable memoir, Burgin reveals his life as a special breed of Marine. Schooled by veterans who had endured the cauldron of Guadalcanal, Burgin's company soon confronted snipers, repulsed jungle ambushes, encountered abandoned corpses of hara-kiri victims, and warded off howling banzai attacks as they island-hopped from one bloody battle to the next. In his two years at war, Burgin rose from a green private to a seasoned sergeant, fighting from New Britain through Peleliu and on to Okinawa, where he earned a Bronze Star for valor. With unforgettable drama and an understated elegance, Burgin's gripping narrative stands alongside those of classic Pacific chroniclers like Robert Leckie and Eugene Sledge--indeed, Burgin was even Sledge's platoon sergeant. Here is a deeply moving account of World War II, bringing to life the hell that was the Pacific War.

Not too strong and very spreadable
Flavor Name: Fresh Mint, Size: 1 count (Pack of 5)
These are fantastic! The texture is just what I was looking for. The leading brand is too dry in my opinion these are perfectly moisturizing and spreadable with the right amount of mint. You can tell it’s mint but it doesn’t burn like some of the others. After first trying a tallow moisturizer I was hooked and starting to look for a lip balm. This is a great choice for people who love the more oily texture of tallow!

Love the benefits of tallow! It’s all I use!
Scent: Lavender
I am a loyal Lotus customer having their face tallow cream on authorship. It’s all I use on my skin & for my teenage daughter. Surprised when I saw they had their bars on Amazon so I placed an order. They are wonderful tallow bars just like I’d expect from Lotus! Smooth, creamy & lather so beautifully! My skin felt so clean & moisturized after my bath. No nasty chemicals, all natural skincare! Definitely buy these bars! I don’t have any skin conditions or concerns I just would rather use natural high quality ingredients, but I can see if you have sensitive skin or any skin issues this would help! Thank you for making high quality skincare!

Worth the price!!
Scent: Unscented
I honestly love this soap. I have it in a pure cotton pouch and that helps with the lather. Yes, the bars are small, but these three have lasted me almost 5 months. For the ingredients in it, and how it makes your skin feel, it is worth the price.
I’m running low so will be replenishing soon. Far better than your basic bar soap from the store!
