I waited a long time before watching the series Pacific. By that time I had listened to many of the books the story was assembled from. After watching I looked for more and this book while short was a great addition to the saga.

A very well told story, but a guy whose “been there, done that.“. I wish I found this book sooner.

Funniest, first person account of World War II, I’ve read!

This is a priceless read - based on Sid Phillips deciding to share his recollections of his experiences in WW2. Definitely worth reading.

Exceptional read

This book had a very familiar tone to it as if you've already read "With the Old Breed" by Eugene Sledge, which is perhaps the single greatest piece of American literature about WW II ever written. These two fine Americans had the wherewithal and courage to record for all posterity of the terrible goings on during the brutal combat they saw in the Pacific. This book, while was Sid's story and not Eugene's, was as fascinating and enthralling to read as "Old Breed" was. I highly recommend. Rest in peace gentleman and thank you for your service and your writings.

Very good book!

Such a fun and uplifting point of view in the midst of darkness and pain. Really enjoyed the book. More accurately, I really enjoyed the author and the glimpses you get to see of his personality through this book.

Fun and uplifting!

Sid was a friend of Eugene Sledge who also wrote a famous book. They were on different campaigns but both great writers.
