E. B. "Sledgehammer" SLEDGE was born and grew up in Mobile. In late 1943 he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. After basic training, he was sent to the Pacific Theater where he fought at Peleliu and Okinawa, two of the fiercest battles of WW II. Following the Japanese surrender, Sledge served in China as part of the occupation force. Upon his return home, he obtained a Ph.D. in biology and joined the faculty of Alabama College (later the University of Montevallo), where he taught until retirement. Sledge initially wrote about his war experiences to explain them to his family, but he was persuaded by his wife to seek publication. Sledge died on March 3, 2001.

囫囵吞枣的看完了英文版,看完这本书的感觉与热播的《太平洋战争》截然不同,虽然电视剧是以这本回忆录为主改编的。书中虽然也描述了作者勇敢的战友,但是这本书让人感受更多的是战争的残酷与肮脏,特别是关于冲绳之战的描述。 连续十余天的大雨,让战场变成了一片泥...
评分公历2019年7月的某几个炎炎夏日,我舒适悠闲地坐在窗边,身边有喜欢的零食配着香气四溢的绿茶。窗外隐约响起的隆隆雷声和麻雀的叽啾声伴我跟着这本书进入一个早已远去的炮火纷飞的世界,在那个时代,整个世界都似乎在燃烧! 一直对有关战争的一切充满着浓厚的兴趣,记忆中很小...
评分虽然被冠以了“血战XXX”系列这种狗血的书名,但仍难掩盖尤金的才华,这本书的译者就比Leckie的Helmet for my pillow[枕盔而眠]强多了,通篇读下来要通顺的多。 尤金所讲述的不同于Leckie的瓜岛战役,尤金的战斗生涯集中在贝里琉和冲绳。虽然对于战争的残酷性、以及能够带给人...

Now the inspiration behind the HBO series THE PACIFIC. This 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 twenty-year-old new recruit to the US Marines, Eugene Sledge can only try desperately 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 batte-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.
虽然被冠以了“血战XXX”系列这种狗血的书名,但仍难掩盖尤金的才华,这本书的译者就比Leckie的Helmet for my pillow[枕盔而眠]强多了,通篇读下来要通顺的多。 尤金所讲述的不同于Leckie的瓜岛战役,尤金的战斗生涯集中在贝里琉和冲绳。虽然对于战争的残酷性、以及能够带给人类的肉体和精神的冲击,都同样的震撼及悲恸,但两本书+两位老兵却有着截然不同的命运。 最不同的地方在于,Leckie是marine步兵,不是任何炮兵等在位于战线相对靠后的兵种,步兵说白了是人肉堆砌的、会前进的墙和炮灰,冲锋、游击、偷袭、清扫、都少不了步兵这个重要角色。 Leckie的遭遇总是体现在最前沿的阵地上和最直接的与敌人短兵相接,那种曳光弹、炮击跑、大炮、坦克、飞机的攻击几乎就发生在他的周围和

评分Real feelings during that most inhuman war Never war again
评分The standard for personal wartime accounts. Sledge writes his book with perhaps one the most sober and inglorious depictions of the island fighting between the Americans and the Japanese. Deeply tragic and powerfully relevant to anybody not familiar with the despicable baseness of war.
