    "The best personal account of World War II. Sledge never loses sight of the honor and the glory of war. Excellent in all respects."--Kevin S. Fontenot, Tulane University, "Among the thousands of soldiers' stories, I am haunted by one from thePacific War....[Sledge's account is] one of the most arresting documents in warliterature."--John Keegan, in The Second World War, "One of the most important personal accounts of war that I have ever read.I believe that it will become a classic, and will be read and cited as long asthe Pacific campaign is remembered."--John Keegan, "I feel like I should have a campaign ribbon for Pelelin and Okinawa. Ihave shared the fox hole. I have felt the heat. It is the closest thing tobeing there. After reading the book my buddies in K-3-5 are real. It has to beamong the best works of its kind. The forgotten soldiers tell one story. TheseMarines are remembered,"--William J. Ikeriran, Univ. of North Alabama, "Although rendering his war experiences is "painful," the effort to bringthem to the "folks back home" is ultimately worthwhile if not necessary....Inevery word appear Sledge's urgency of purpose, the immediacy of his experienceof war, and the mark of that on his character. I am not alone in claiming thismemoir to be the most comprehensive--and scathing, compelling,sorrow-laden--rendering of the marine infantryman's experience in World WarII."--Sewanee Review, "Classic....Should be required reading for all students, especially nowthat we are once again unleashing the dogs of war."--John F. Cox, University ofArizona, "In what may be his finest feat as a critic, Fussell introduces the readerto a hitherto unsung but remarkable author named Eugene B. Sledge....This bookrichly merits a wider audience....The searing honesty of [Sledge's] words makesthem...a fitting epitaph for the ordeal that began in Danzig fifty yearsago."--Newsweek

    Synopsis
    Now including a new introduction by Paul Fussell, With the Old Breed presents a stirring, personal account of the World War II battles of Peleliu and Okinawa. Based on the notes he kept on slips of paper tucked secretly away in his New Testament, E. B. Sledge simply and directly recalls those long months of combat, mincing no words and sparing no pain. The reality of battle meant unbearable heat, deafening gunfire, unimaginable brutality and cruelty, the stench of death, and, above all, constant fear. Sledge's honesty and compassion for the other marines, even complete strangers, sets him apart as a memoirist of war. Read as sobering history or as high adventure, With the Old Breed is a moving chronicle of action and courage., In his own book, Wartime , Paul Fussell called With the Old Breed "one of the finest memoirs to emerge from any war." John Keegan referred to it in The Second World War as "one of the most arresting documents in war literature." And Studs Terkel was so fascinated with the story he interviewed its author for his book, "The Good War." What has made E.B. Sledge's memoir of his experience fighting in the South Pacific during World War II so devastatingly powerful is its sheer honest simplicity and compassion. Now including a new introduction by Paul Fussell, With the Old Breed presents a stirring, personal account of the vitality and bravery of the Marines in the battles at Peleliu and Okinawa. Born in Mobile, Alabama in 1923 and raised on riding, hunting, fishing, and a respect for history and legendary heroes such as George Washington and Daniel Boone, Eugene Bondurant Sledge (later called "Sledgehammer" by his Marine Corps buddies) joined the Marines the year after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and from 1943 to 1946 endured the events recorded in this book. In those years, he passed, often painfully, from innocence to experience. Sledge enlisted out of patriotism, idealism, and youthful courage, but once he landed on the beach at Peleliu, it was purely a struggle for survival. Based on the notes he kept on slips of paper tucked secretly away in his New Testament, he simply and directly recalls those long months, mincing no words and sparing no pain. The reality of battle meant unbearable heat, deafening gunfire, unimaginable brutality and cruelty, the stench of death, and, above all, constant fear. Sledge still has nightmares about "the bloody, muddy month of May on Okinawa." But, as he also tellingly reveals, the bonds of friendship formed then will never be severed. Sledge's honesty and compassion for the other marines, even complete strangers, sets him apart as a memoirist of war. Read as sobering history or as high adventure, With the Old Breed is a moving chronicle of action and courage., E. B. Sledge was barely in his twenties when he volunteered for the U. S. Marines. By the time he landed on the beach at Peleliu in 1944, his patriotic idealism and his understanding of the strategic importance of the island were of secondary consequence to his determination to survive. Recalling the friendships forged and lost during the battles, this field memoir is a stirring chronicle of action and courage., In his own book, Wartime, Paul Fussell called With the Old Breed "one of the finest memoirs to emerge from any war." John Keegan referred to it in The Second World War as "one of the most arresting documents in war literature." And Studs Terkel was so fascinated with the story he interviewed its author for his book, "The Good War." What has made E.B.
