I read both Leckie’s and Sledge’s books last year after watching “The Pacific” on Amazon Prime. Fascinating books and I highly recommend both if you are interested in the history of WWII. My brother in law said that he thought the scenes of death and destruction in Hacksaw Ridge seemed a bit over the top. I told him that it seemed quite accurate based on the accounts in Eugene Sledge’s book. He did describe it as hell on earth.
