Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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 and 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 des…perately to survive. At Peleliu and Okinawa - two of the fiercest and filthiest Pacific battles of WWII - he witnesses the dehumanising brutality displayed by both sides and 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, and 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 and honesty of the cruelty, bravery and deaths of the men he fought alongside, and 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 and the extraordinary - into terms we mortals can grasp' Tom Hanks. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Add to basketKampen. omniboek 2010 Softcover, 376pp. en z/w. ilustratiekatern van 16pp., 15x23cm., in zeer goede staat (rug met lichte leesvouw). ISBN 9789059774322. Totdat de atoombommen op Hiroshima en Nagasaki de capitulatie van Japan betekenden, vochten de Amerikanen en de Japanners een meedogenloze grondoorlog. De verliezen waren enorm.… De Amerikaanse mariniers verloren in de aanvallen op de eilanden Peleliu en Okinawa alleen al meer dan 14.000 man. Eugene B. Sledge was ooggetuige en vocht mee. Hij kwam in dienst in 1943 en tekende dit persoonlijke verslag over de gevechten, de verschrikkingen en de ontberingen van zichzelf en zijn kameraden. Hij was een van de weinigen die niet gewond of gedood werd. Het persoonlijke verslag van Eugene 'Sledgehammer' in de eerste persoon over deze oorlog, maakte zijn boek tot een bestseller. Tom Hanks en Steven Spielberg kochten de rechten en maakten er een tiendelige TV-serie van.
