This book should be required reading for everyone especially those who make the decisions about whether we wage war or not. I'm not into the logistics of troops and such. Rather the descriptions of daily living conditions and mindsets were haunting.

This was a good book and I enjoyed reading it. It had lots of facts about the war. I spent some time on Okinawa in 1952 and three. There were still signs of the war when I was there. And it's it very interesting for me.Marv Hammell

How anybody survived the conflicts and still keep their humanity is past my understanding. Sledgehammer tells the story with out holding any detail back, this is not a book for the weak of heart.

This was a Father's Day gift. My husband had watched the series The Pacific and he wanted to read the bookthat Sledge had written. When he got it, he had it read in just a couple of days. Said it was an excellentbook.

This book should be required for anyone inclined to desire that men go into combat. the sheer, inglorious hell is spoken of so plainly, and without guile. there is so little personal embellishment from Dr Sledge, that it makes the story that much more compelling. This book is not, however for those looking for a strategic view of these battles. A great , if sobering read

"With the Old Breed" is the most profound personal war narrative I have ever read, and I've read hundred's...whenever I feel sorry for myself or think my life is difficult, I re-read this book. I only wish I could have met Dr. Sledge in person and let him know what an impact his book has had on my life. God bless him and all vets who served.
