“Eric Berger-written, touched with fire, writes about it, quote. The Australian juggernaut was not only rolling, it was doing so with very little cost in Australian lives.”

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: human endurance in war
For: Readers interested in military history and personal accounts of war
Key quote: “I love the way one of these squad leaders quoted in Eric Bergerid's book, and I think it's one of the best, I think I've said it's one of the best I've ever read for the nitty-gritty ground-level stuff of what fighting in the Pacific was like.”
The host mentions 'Touched with Fire' to highlight the intense experiences of soldiers during the Pacific War, emphasizing the critical role of native carriers in supporting troops. The book provides a detailed perspective on the ground-level realities faced by soldiers, contrasting it with the higher command's view of warfare.
