With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa

One of the best audio books I have listened to. What these men went through for our freedom is unimaginable. They were truly the greatest generation. This book should be mandatory reading because it will help its readers to never take our freedom and flag for granted.

What a book! One of the finest book on ww2. I wish E.B Sledge was still alive. I would have like to meet him and say thank you for your sacrifice!

I'm not done yet, but what a book! It's detailed and we'll narrated. An inside look at WWII in the pacific. These guys were literally tough as nails both mentally and physically. One of the best books I've ever listened to.

Fantastic book that kept me wanting to dig deeper into the pacific war. Sledgehammer lived through a nightmare of battles that we can't even imagine. The reader did a fantastic job of painting a picture of the written word. This is a must for those interested in the Marines and their fighting in the pacific theatre in WWII. Well done!

My Dad, a Marine veteran, and I listened to this book together. It was time well spent. I feel a renewed sense of respect and gratitude for those who fought for our freedom. The narrative was compelling, and we were thoroughly engaged from start to finish.

A must listen to if nothing else than to respect those who faced imminent death and unspeakable horror that the common citizen would never imagine or even think about. Respect those who serve so we can live in peace.

This was an incredible first hand account from an enlisted Marine that served in the Pacific Theater of WWII. E.B. Sledge recounts his experiences as only one who saw them could. The story is both horrible and incredible at the same time. I have been in the military for the last 16 years, and although I have been to Iraq and have been deployed many times, I have NEVER experienced the sort of things these men did. Intellectually, you understand how horrible the war against the Japanese was. However, after experiencing this account from a front line infantryman's perspective, you will come away with more insight into just how horrible of an experience it actually was. I learned a lot from this account and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who would like a better understanding of what those guys on the ground went through against the Empire of Japan's fanatical troops. Also, the narrator did an incredible job. Sometimes, I found myself forgetting I was listening to an audible story and found myself transported into my mind's eye, similar to when you are reading. 2 thumbs up!

Fantastic, gut-wrenching account of one American man's war against the Japanese during WWII.
