With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene B. Sledge

5.0

This book was recommended to me after my boyfriend and I watched the Pacific on Netflix together. I enjoyed it. WTDOB is a memoir that describes first hand the psychology of fighting in a combat zone and the suffering that affects everyone in war. There are parts that are very heavy and heartbreaking, but E.B. Sledge wrote honestly about the sacrifices he and others; some who never came home—made for their county. I finished this book with a great respect for those who served in the Pacific Theatre. I wish I had been required to read this in school.
