We’re excited about the launch of WarShotsBook.com, a companion to the book written by Richmond author Charles “Chip” Jones. The book was released earlier this week, and the website went live the week after Christmas.
The website features exclusive video interview clips and photographs from the private collection of Norman T. Hatch, the Marine combat cameraman that is the book is written about. You can also watch “With the Marines at Tarawa,” the documentary that won the 1944 Academy Award for short subjects. The footage Hatch took of dead and dying Marines was so graphic it had to be approved for public release by President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself, and revealed how adept the Japanese actually were at fighting (Americans at the time underestimated the fighting abilities of the Japanese).
“Rick Whittington Consulting helped me see outside the box of my written work, and to see the potential for creating a dynamic, colorful Web-based platform. Rick and his team saw the potential for positioning my book online,” Jones said about the website we designed and developed.
To learn more, read the press release or visit WarShotsBook.com, where you can purchase the book. You can also pick up an autographed copy of the book at Fountain Bookstore in Shockoe Slip right here in Richmond.
