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.
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.

雖然被冠以瞭“血戰XXX”係列這種狗血的書名,但仍難掩蓋尤金的纔華,這本書的譯者就比Leckie的Helmet for my pillow[枕盔而眠]強多瞭,通篇讀下來要通順的多。 尤金所講述的不同於Leckie的瓜島戰役,尤金的戰鬥生涯集中在貝裏琉和衝繩。雖然對於戰爭的殘酷性、以及能夠帶給人...
評分少年希望成為騎士,因為騎士精緻的佩劍與跨下壯碩的戰馬深深吸引瞭他。軍人的後代對戰場上可能發生的事總是有所耳聞,所以這本書讓我反復迴顧的不是當時慘烈的戰爭進程,而是險惡環境下人的身心反應。一個大規模火器正麵交鋒的年代充分考驗一個人的勇氣、責任感、敏銳程度,與...
評分公曆2019年7月的某幾個炎炎夏日,我舒適悠閑地坐在窗邊,身邊有喜歡的零食配著香氣四溢的綠茶。窗外隱約響起的隆隆雷聲和麻雀的嘰啾聲伴我跟著這本書進入一個早已遠去的炮火紛飛的世界,在那個時代,整個世界都似乎在燃燒! 一直對有關戰爭的一切充滿著濃厚的興趣,記憶中很小...

評分囫圇吞棗的看完瞭英文版,看完這本書的感覺與熱播的《太平洋戰爭》截然不同,雖然電視劇是以這本迴憶錄為主改編的。書中雖然也描述瞭作者勇敢的戰友,但是這本書讓人感受更多的是戰爭的殘酷與骯髒,特彆是關於衝繩之戰的描述。 連續十餘天的大雨,讓戰場變成瞭一片泥...

評分第一次完完整整的把一本原版書讀完。。。非常不錯。。
