Richard Carl Bright Launches Marketing Push for PAIN & PURPOSE IN THE PACIFIC

Richard Carl Bright kicks off a new marketing campaign for his book, "Pain and Purpose in the Pacific: True Reports of War" (published by Trafford Publishing). The marketing campaign coincides with the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II; and earlier this year the book was edited to include the 70th anniversary of the battles for Iwo Jima, Okinawa and more information regarding the end of WWII.

In "Pain and Purpose in the Pacific," Bright who lived for seven years on the islands of Guam and Saipan, puts a human face on the tragedies of war, ushering readers into both the destruction and redemption of war. Bright traces his uncle Carl's travels during World War II from his uncle's home in Minnesota to the battle-torn islands of the Pacific, all the way to Japan. Bright, a veteran of Vietnam, creates his prose from personal experience and observation of many locations on the Pacific including the Mariana Islands, the Caroline Islands, Peleliu, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

Not only is the book a story of war, but also "Pain and Purpose in the Pacific" is ultimately a love story. Carl returns to his hometown to marry Clara Young, the woman awaiting his return from combat. Together they raise a family and pursue the American Dream.

"Pain and Purpose in the Pacific" offers a glimpse into the lives of Marines, Army and Army Air Corps, Navy and Coast Guard at war and the friends and family they often leave behind. Through the interviews of those who were there, and with vignettes of the realities of war, Bright gives the reader a clear view of what it means to live and die in the service of one's country.
