This is the first book i read in 10 year. I’m not kidding. I wanted to read after i recently watched The Pacific. And oh boy, did I not regret picking up this book. I had to know what would happen on the next page, and the next. I read in the airport, in the plane and on the beach. This is as close as you can be in the thick of the brutal WWII Pacific battles. This book is as honest as can be. Get it as soon as you can. You will not regret it.

As a Marine veteran of Vietnam, and the son of a WW2 Marine veteran I can identify closely with E.B. Sledge's experiences. His writings, even though somewhat painful, put me into the battle. It's comforting to see that others had those same fears and doubts and survived to have a full life.

I really enjoyed this book. Was very honest view of the battles that took place in some of the worst conditions known to man. How Sledge Hammer was able to put these thoughts into such inspiring words is a testament to “the old breed”. Those men and women were wired to succeed and nothing less. Thank you all that served during WWII in Europe and The Pacific theatre. God bless you all. SEMPER FI SLEDGE HAMMER. Rest In Peace.
