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

4.0

Sledge's firsthand account of the island war on Peleliu and Okinawa is by turn fascinating, gripping, exciting and heartbreaking. It would be hard to recommend this book enough, especially for non-veterans seeking to understand why the people who go off to war are different from the people who come back.
