Query: An ordinary guy telling an extraordinary tale

To say that this story is powerful doesn't do it justice. The author's descriptions of his experiences are void of self promotion or drama. The horror's he depicts as a marine corporal are hard to imagine. Consider that his unit had 256 men at the outset, but after Pelilu and Okinawa only 26 had not been "hit." Consider also the title "With the old breed...." when in fact none of them had turned 21 yet.The contrast of the conviction of these men set against the mainstream of American men today is vivid, particularly as to their personal commitment to the values of their country. It moved me. Pelilu was hot, hardscrabble and dusty while Okinawa was taken in the midst of a monsoon. Both were deadly dangerous as told in this simple tale of war. As John Keegan said, this book will be a classic.
