Amy Rupertus Peacock and Don Brown, authors of “Old Breed General: How Marine Corps General William H. Rupertus Broke the Back of the Japanese in World War II from Guadalcanal to Peleliu” joined us in studio for an awesome and informative conversation. We chat about the author of the Rifleman’s Creed, General William H. Rupertus, From his two tours serving in China before World War II to his leadership at Tulagi, Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, and Peleliu, and we unpack Rupertus’ journey through war in the Pacific and how those events parallel the modern landscape.
