"With the Old Breed" - A Book Review

[Kool Kat]

I have it and agree with you Mike !

I found it lot less wordy than Robert Leckies "Helmet for My Pillow".

Hey Toni:

Yes. "With the Old Breed" is a very "readable" novel. The author's words are much like having a conversation between two good friends. Very digestible.

Another "factoid" I found interesting, was that E.B. Sledge wrote this novel 36 years after World War II. He was plagued with nightmares and battle fatigue following his tour of duty, and it took him years to resume a more normal life.

Than he relived the nightmarish battles again while writing "With the Old Breed."

A remarkable man.
