| | | Annotation:
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.
| Praise| "The title is like the book itself, without artifice: it is simple, precise, unsophisticated, unliterary, a war remembrance without tricks or hurrah. Of all the books about the ground war in the Pacific, it is the closest to a masterpiece." - John Gregory Dunne 12/20/2001 |
