I had to read this book for class and have not been able to stop thinking about it. The devil's in the details in this book: as a Marine, Sledge has a keen eye for all of the little atrocities, the personal horrors, that we don't learn about when we talk about war. Sledge's gripping account is told straightforwardly, in simple language, and refrains from being critical, preachy, or anachronistic. It's a compelling picture of life on the front lines of the Pacific Theater.
