Battle Cry

In the early days of America's involvement in World War II, a Marine battalion readies to challenge the Japanese. The men will see limited action at Guadalcanal, but their leader, Major Sam Huxley, won't rest until his forces get closer to the action. Meanwhile, Andy, a key member of ''Huxley's Harlots,'' sets aside his fear of leaving his new wife a war widow for the second time, and joins his buddies in the crucial Battle of Saipan.
