Description
Eugene Sledge's memoir of his experiences as a US Marine during World War II is a powerful and poignant account of the brutality and camaraderie of war.
Published in 2011, With the Old Breed is a deeply personal and honest account of Sledge's time on the islands of Peleliu and Okinawa, where he witnessed the dehumanising effects of war firsthand.
Through his notes, Sledge brings to life the struggles and triumphs of the men he fought alongside, and shares his own journey from patriotic innocence to battle-scarred veteran.
