Off Topic  "With the Old Breed" - A Book Review
Gents: Smoke7

I just finished reading what I consider one of the top World War II autobiographical novels ever written - "With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa" by E.B. Sledge.

"With the Old Breed" follows the exploits of E.B. Sledge (Sledgehammer), a private in Company K, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, through basic training and than two hellish and brutal island battles – Peleliu and Okinawa. The Pacific, a 10-part mini-series, is based on this novel.

You can read my book review HERE.

Highly recommended! Big Grin2
