This World War II memoir by a former U. S. Marine is highly regarded by historians and former soldiers alike for its veracity and style. Sledge recounts his experiences in the Pacific campaigns, especially the (very bloody) landings on Peleliu and Okinawa.
Based on notes he kept on slips of paper tucked secretly away in his Bible, Eugene Sledge has written a devastingly powerful memoir of his experience fighting in the South Pacific during WWII. John Keegan describes this stirring account of the vitality and bravery of the Marines as "one of the most arresting doceuments in war literature".
