Book Reviews of With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa
Book Review: The best book I have ever read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not an avid book reader and it usually takes me a long time to finish a book but I could not put this book down. It is written like the average person wrote it, I didn't have to look up any words in the dictionary which made it a very easy read. The story flowed seamlessly and was easy to follow along and visualize as you read. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know about or is curious about the reality of war.Book Review: With The Old Breed
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best books about WW II I have ever read. The author takes us right into the bloody mess of Marines at their best during the war in the Pacific. Most books about war paint a rosie picture of combat. With the Old Breed you ar there on the ground in the middle of the horror of war. I salute all Marines for their service and duty to country. From one proud Marine to all his comrades in arms. Gung Ho, Sempre FiBook Review: Heartbreaking
Summary: 5 Stars
As one of the Less-Than-5-Star raters said, there are a few parts of this book that are a little slow, mainly in the first third or so. Aside from that, this is a book everyone should read to understand more about war. Even the mundane events are somehow fascinating and his vivid depictions of the horrors of war are heartbreaking. Read this book and you'll rush to hug a war veteran. After you stop crying.Book Review: "one of the best"!

Summary: 5 Stars
Hearing Eugene Sledge's words during Ken Burns' "The War" really put the hook in me. This book is the best personal account of combat experience I've read. His eloquent and direct style gives the reader a sense of the effect that the horror of war has on combatants. Anyone interested in military history and how war affects those closest to it will find Sledge's book enthralling.
