What else can be said? The is one of the best accounts of any war ever written and will leave you humbled for the rest of your life after reading it.

Best firsthand account of WWII combat by the storied First Marine Division. Those who seek knowledge past the history books it is a must read.

I read this memoir cover to cover in a time frame of about 24 hours. Extremely well-written, this detailed account of one Marine’s experiences in the Pacific give great insight to the triumphs and tragedies associated with heavy combat.

Is was a compelling and disturbing view of combat through the eyes of a Marine Corps private in the battles of Peleliu and Okinawa.

A masterpiece. Should be required reading.

God Bless these men, if you like this, you will love BRAVE MEN by Ernie Pyle the greatest war correspondent ever.

Great depiction of the conditions a marine infantryman had to endure during WW II in the Pacific theater.

This is truly one of the best books I have EVER read in my life. I felt as if I was right there with them through it all.

After reading, I now understand how easy it was for Tom Hanks and HBO to team up and create the mini series on the War in the Pacific.

I think every American should read this book.
