With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene B. Sledge
3.5
With the Old Breed was a step outside my usual reading preferences, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance. This book, based on E.B. Sledge’s experiences during World War II, is written with incredible grace and provides a deeply personal glimpse into the challenges and struggles soldiers faced during this time.
I gained a lot of insight into their hardships, and I truly appreciated how Sledge explained different terms and weapons. He struck a perfect balance, offering just enough detail to inform without overwhelming the reader.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about history. It’s also an accessible and engaging read for those new to historical nonfiction.
