"Martha MacCallum has written a wonderful book on the bravery and sacrifices of those who 'island-hopped' from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima. Part family memoir, part personal history of small-town America at war, and part chronicle of Marine amphibious landings from 1942 to 1945, Unknown Valor is a beautifully written and stirring reminder to present generations that much of what we now take for granted was given to us by the sacrifices of those whom we must never forget."

In honor of the 75th Anniversary of one of the most critical battles of World War II, the popular primetime Fox News anchor of The Story with Martha MacCallum pays tribute to the heroic men who sacrificed everything at Iwo Jima to defeat the Armed Forces of Emperor Hirohito--among them, a member of her own family, Harry Gray.
Admiral Chester Nimitz spoke of the "uncommon valor" of the men who fought on Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest and most brutal battles of World War II. In thirty-six grueling days, nearly 7,000 Marines were killed and 22,000 were wounded.
Martha MacCallum takes us from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima through the lives of these men of valor, among them Harry Gray, a member of her own family.
In Unknown Valor, she weaves their stories--from Boston, Massachusetts, to Gulfport, Mississippi, as told through letters and recollections--into the larger history of what American military leaders rightly saw as an eventual showdown in the Pacific with Japan. In a relentless push through the jungles of Guadalcanal, over the coral reefs of Tarawa, past the bloody ridge of Peleliu, against the banzai charges of Guam, and to the cliffs of Saipan, these men were on a path that ultimately led to the black sands of Iwo Jima, the doorstep of the Japanese Empire.
Meticulously researched, heart-wrenching, and illuminating, Unknown Valor reveals the sacrifices of ordinary Marines who saved the world from tyranny and left indelible marks on those back home who loved them.

REVIEWS:
"Martha MacCallum's Unknown Valor is an elegantly written and deeply researched history of how the U.S. Army and Marines won the Pacific theater island-hopping campaign in the Second World War. The sheer heroism of these American fighters on the battlefield is staggering. Every page soars with gritty realism and patriotic perseverance. A powerful saga about the greatest generation!"

"Martha MacCallum has written a magnificent history, at once a sweeping and fresh account of one of the most dramatic chapters in our past--and an intimate portrait of all that's best and most heroic in the American spirit."

" Unknown Valor is at once so gripping and moving about the war in the Pacific that I lost several nights sleep, refusing to go to bed until I'd read it all. The book blends fascinating details of Martha MacCallum's family's personal story and sacrifice, and the touching moments of hope and family life add a special flavor to the story. Even though we all know how the war ends, what we gain from the book is a deeper appreciation for the scope and scale of the patriotism, dreams, and heartache that lived on. Unknown Valor is a triumph."

Great looking cigar cutter, would make a nice gift
Nicely made and feels pretty good quality for the price. It's not heirloom quality or anything but it's very solid and made to last. Finish is great, it feels good in hand and has no sharp edges or blemishes as is common on many of these products.
This includes a pretty complete set of all the cutters you could need all in one device, would make either a nice starter tool or would be a great gift to upgrade to if you know anyone still using one of those cheap plastic ones from the cigar shop.
The steel appears to be chinese made and not super high quality, but it's also unlikely to see hard use. I would expect it to last most of a lifetime without sharpening if only used on clean cigars and not abused.

The Ultimate Cigar Toolkit: A 5-in-1 Must-Have for Aficionados
This 5-in-1 Cigar Cutter Set is an incredibly thoughtful and practical piece of gear, making it a fantastic gift for any cigar enthusiast—or a brilliant upgrade for yourself. While it's not a 'perfect 5-star' tool in every single function, its sheer versatility and excellent ergonomic design earn it a very strong four stars.
The main attraction is the built-in versatility. Having a Cigar V Cutter, Flat Cutter, and a Cigar Punch all in one compact, ergonomically-designed unit is a game-changer. It eliminates the need to carry three separate tools and the frustration of realizing you left your preferred cutter at home. The cutters themselves are sharp, providing clean, crisp cuts right out of the box, though, like any blade, their longevity will depend on regular maintenance.
Where this set truly shines and elevates itself beyond a simple cutter is the inclusion of the Cigar Draw Enhancer and the simple yet effective Cigar Holder. The draw enhancer is a lifesaver for those tightly packed cigars that refuse to cooperate; it's easy to use and significantly improves the smoking experience when needed. The holder is a small but welcome addition, giving you a clean place to rest your cigar when a proper ashtray isn't available.
The ergonomic design is well-executed. It feels substantial and secure in the hand, which is crucial for making a confident cut. It has a premium look and weight that makes it an impressive item to unbox and use.
The only reason this set doesn't quite hit a full five stars is minor: while all tools are functional, the punch and draw enhancer, while very useful, can occasionally be a little tricky to deploy or stow quickly compared to their standalone counterparts. For example, a dedicated V-cutter might offer a slightly deeper, more customized cut. However, this is an acceptable trade-off for the unparalleled convenience of having all five tools together.
Overall: If you value convenience, functionality, and portability, this 5-in-1 set is an excellent investment. It’s an ideal gift that says, "I want you to have the best experience possible with your cigars," and is genuinely useful on any occasion—whether it’s a Christmas stocking stuffer or a Father's Day present. You won't regret adding this versatile piece to your collection.

Absolutely blown away!
I got this 5-in-1 cigar cutter set to try out, and right away I was impressed by how versatile it is. The built-in V-cutter and punch both cut clean and precise — whether I went with a deep V or a quick punch, the draw came out smooth every time. The flat cutter and draw-enhancer add even more flexibility, especially when dealing with a tighter cigar. The tool feels solid in the hand with good weight, and the carbon-fiber design gives it a classy look without being flashy or over the top.
Where this set really shines is convenience and portability. It’s compact enough to carry anywhere, yet gives you everything you need — cut, punch, tweak the draw, or even hold the cigar without juggling multiple accessories. For casual smoking, travel, or keeping it in the car for last-minute sessions, it’s the perfect all-in-one tool. For the price and everything it packs in, it’s a practical, stylish, and reliable addition to any cigar lover’s kit.

A Stunning and Flawless All-in-One Tool
I'm a casual cigar smoker, and I was getting tired of juggling a separate guillotine cutter and a punch. I wanted one solid, all-in-one tool that could do everything and look good doing it.
Honestly, when I took this out of the box, I was blown away. The first thing you notice is the weight and how solid it feels in your hand, definitely not a cheap, flimsy tool. It’s incredible how sleek it looks; the design reminds me of one of those fancy minimalist metal wallets. It just has a really premium, high-end feel.
But the real magic is in how many features it has. You get a perfect guillotine cut, a sharp V-cut, and a punch, all in one compact device. It even has a little poker tool that slides out, which is a lifesaver for a tightly packed cigar. It’s everything you need, all in one place.
And the best part is just how well it works. I was worried that a multi-tool might compromise on quality, but that's not the case here. The blades were sharp! Every cut I've made, whether it's the straight cut or the V-cut, has been incredibly clean and precise. The spring action is smooth, and the whole thing just operates flawlessly.
Overall, this cutter completely exceeded my expectations. It's a beautifully designed, incredibly versatile, and highly effective tool that feels like it should cost way more than it does. It's the perfect single accessory for any cigar smoker and would make an amazing gift. Five stars, hands down.

A Must-Have Tool for Every Cigar Enthusiast
As someone who enjoys a good cigar, I was thrilled to try out the DXXULL 5-in-1 Cigar Cutter Set, and it did not disappoint. This tool is incredibly versatile, offering everything I need in one compact design. The built-in cigar V cutter, flat cutter, and punch are all super sharp and make cutting my cigars a breeze. Switching between the different functions is seamless, and I love how sturdy and well-made it feels in my hand.
One of the standout features for me is the cigar draw enhancer. It’s a game-changer for those times when a cigar is rolled a bit too tight. This tool makes sure every draw is smooth and enjoyable. The ergonomic design is another plus, as it fits comfortably in my hand without any awkwardness, and I appreciate the added convenience of having a cigar holder included. It's like the Swiss army knife of cigar tools!
Overall, this set has become an essential part of my cigar experience. It’s perfect for both casual smokers and serious aficionados alike. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends, and they’ve been just as impressed. If you’re looking for a reliable and multifunctional cigar accessory, this is definitely worth considering.
