Book Reviews of With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa

Book Review: Sobering account of the realities of war
Summary: 5 Stars

By the end of this book I felt a real attatchment to the author and the men who shared the experiences described in the book.

It is not one of the best works of literature I have come across, however it is one of the best accounts of the reality of war on a group of men I have read.
