The inspiration behind the HBO series THE PACIFICThis was a brutish primitive hatred as characteristic of the horror of war in the Pacific as the palm trees & the islands Landing on the beach at Peleliu in 1944 as a twenty-year-old new recruit to the US Marines Eugene Sledge can only try desperately to survive At Peleliu & Okinawa
- two of the fiercest & filthiest Pacific battles of WWII
- he witnesses the dehumanising brutality displayed by both sides & the animal hatred that each soldier has for his enemy During temporary lapses in the fighting conditions on the islands mean that the Marines often can't wash stay dry dig latrines or even find time to eat Suffering from constant fear fatigue & filth the struggle of simply living in a combat zone is utterly debilitating Yet despite horrendous conditions Sledge finds time to keep notes that he would later turn into a book Described as one of the finest memoirs to emerge from any war With the Old Breed tells with compassion & honesty of the cruelty bravery & deaths of the men he fought alongside & of his own journey from patriotic innocence to battle-scarred veteran ' Eugene Sledge became more than a legend with his memoir With The Old Breed He became a chronicler a historian a storyteller who turns the extremes of the war in the Pacific
- the terror the camaraderie the banal & the extraordinary
- into terms we mortals can grasp' Tom Hanks
