Thought I'd resurrect this thread given the amount of holiday reading I've been doing lately
After seeing the series "The Pacific" wanted to find out more about the principle characters Robert Leckie and Eugene Sledge so finished reading their accounts:
"With the Old Breed", Eugene Sledge
"Helmet For My Pillow", Robert Leckie
"Strong Men Armed", Robert Leckie
Thoroughly recommend these if you enjoyed the series The Pacific and/or are interested in the USMC Pacific campaigns.
Currently reading
"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" by John le Carré
BTW, all these I've read on my Kindle - love it
