At first I picked this book because I was forced to read a book off the commandants reading list. This book quickly caught and held my attention and made it hard to put down. This is an excellent first hand experience written book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a in depth look of what it was like as a military personnel during World War II and the daily encounters going through the battles of Guadalcanal and Peleliu.

Thank you boys.

I know Robert has passed on, but thank god we had such men fight our wars for us. I finished watching The Pacific and it and Band of Brothers have forever changed my life. Thank you for serving our great country Robert. I know your still with us in spirit. God bless you. Eric Koenig Burleson, Texas
