Truly 1 of the best 1st person accounts of WWII. It covered the battles for Pelilu (sp) and Okinawa. Victor Davis Hanson wrote the foreword for 1 of the later editions. He was named after an uncle whom he never met who perished on Okinawa. Should be required reading for every American. The 2010 mini-series, “The Pacific”, was partly based upon this book.

With The Old Breed is a great book. I wish I had read it before serving in Vietnam Nam, (would have complained a whole lot less.)

Victor Krulak was a veteran of the Okinawa campaign and wrote an excellent history of the U.S. Marine Corps: First to Fight: An Inside View of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Thanks. They have two Kindle versions of this book in my local library system. I just put it on hold, wait time about two weeks.
