An excellent accounting of the 1st Marines and their island campaigns.PFC Robert Leckie provides insight from boot camp until his being wounded bad enough at Peleliu that his war ends. He introduces a number of characters, some only get mentioned in a paragraph or two while others continue throughout the pages. If you appreciated the HBO miniseries "The Pacific" now is the time to get an unadulterated version of what happened on Guadalcanal and Peleliu and the island fighting in between.
