Histoire
In November 1965, some 450 men of the First Battalion, Seventh Cavalry, under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopter into a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediately surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to pieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray and Albany constituted one of the most savage and significant battles of the Vietnam War. How these men persevered makes a vivid portrait of war at its most inspiring and devastating.

When Guy Sajer joins the infantry full of ideals in the summer of 1942, the German army is enjoying unparalleled success in Russia. However, he quickly finds that for the foot soldier the glory of military success hides a much harsher reality of hunger, fatigue, and constant deprivation. Posted to the elite Grosse Deutschland division, he enters a violent and remorseless world where all youthful hope is gradually ground down, and all that matters is the brute will to survive.

It was to be the war to end all wars, and it began at 11:15 on the morning of June 28, 1914, in an outpost of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called Sarajevo. It would officially end nearly five years later. Unofficially, however, it has never ended: Many of the horrors we live with today are rooted in the First World War. The Great War left millions of civilians and soldiers maimed or dead. It also saw the creation of new technologies of destruction: tanks, planes, and submarines; machine guns and field artillery; poison gas and chemical warfare.

Histoire
Things I’ll Never Forget is the story of a young high school graduate in 1965 who faces being drafted into the Army or volunteering for the Marine Corps. These are his memories of funny times, disgusting times and deadly times. The author kept a journal for an entire year; therefore many of the dates, times and places are accurate. The rest is based on memories that are forever tattooed on his brain. This is not a pro-war book, nor is it anti-war. It is the true story of what the Marine Corps was like in the late 1960’s.

A Bridge Too Far is Cornelius Ryan’s masterly chronicle of the Battle of Arnhem, which marshaled the greatest armada of troop-carrying aircraft ever assembled and cost the Allies nearly twice as many casualties as D-day. In this compelling work of history, Ryan narrates the Allied effort to end the war in Europe in 1944 by dropping the combined airborne forces of the American and British armies behind German lines to capture the crucial bridge across the Rhine at Arnhem. Focusing on a vast cast of characters, Ryan brings to life one of the most ill-fated operations of the war.

Description
The celebrated 2010 HBO miniseries The Pacific, winner of eight Emmy Awards, was based on two classic books about the War in the Pacific, Helmet for My Pillow and With The Old Breed. Audible Studios, in partnership with Playtone, the production company co-owned by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, and creator of the award-winning HBO series Band of Brothers, John Adams, and The Pacific, as well as the HBO movie Game Change, has created new recordings of these memoirs, narrated by the stars of the miniseries. James Badge Dale (who portrayed Robert Leckie) and Joseph Mazello (who played Eugene Sledge) bring all the passion and emotion of their riveting television performances to these new audio productions.
In Helmet for My Pillow, Robert Leckie enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in January 1942, shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This riveting first-person account follows his odyssey from basic training on Parris Island, South Carolina, all the way to the raging battles in the Pacific, where some of the war's fiercest fighting took place. Recounting his service with the 1st Marine Division and the brutal action on Guadalcanal, New Britain, and Peleliu, Leckie spares no detail of the horrors and sacrifices of war, painting an unvarnished portrait of how real warriors are made, fight, and often die in the defense of their country.
From the live-for-today rowdiness of marines on leave to the terrors of jungle warfare against an enemy determined to fight to the last man, Leckie describes what war is really like when victory can only be measured inch by bloody inch. Woven throughout are Leckie's hard-won, eloquent, and thoroughly unsentimental meditations on the meaning of war and why we fight.
BONUS AUDIO: Tom Hanks, one of the executive producers, has written and narrated an original introduction to Helmet for My Pillow, where he describes his appreciation for the book's author, the narrators, and the soldiers who had fought in the cauldron of the Pacific Theater during World War II.

Poetry.
Robert Leckie was an incredible writer. I am not a brilliant reader. If I can get through a 50 page novel I'm doing well but dear lord. The writing of Robert Leckie brought me right to the Pacific with him.
Highly recommended.

A Look at the Pacific theatre like never before
James Badge Dale does a tremendous job at bringing Bob Leckie's unapologetic look into life on the battlefield, in the Pacific theatre during WW2. From training to Peleliu Bob tells an uncompromising 1st hand account of being a 1st Marine during these times, the psychological effects of war and the fortitude it took to survive some of WW2 most brutal battles. Im thankful for Bob having the courage to share his experiences as i cam imagine it couldnt have been easy recalling these horrible events.

Timeless Insights to Human Conflict
This Remembrance Day, given the imposed isolation of the pandemic, I decided it would be a good thing to re-watch things I haven’t seen for some time, including Saving Private Ryan & Band of Brothers, before shifting to The Pacific. For both precursor films, I had read Steven Ambrose’s work, and when first viewing The Pacific, I had meant to look up its source material. I finally got to it this year, and have blasted through Helmet For My Pillow in 24 hours, along with the first part of Sledge’s memoir, detailing his take on Pelilau.
I commented while 2/3 through listening to this audiobook, ably performed by the actor playing the author in The Pacific, that I felt it deserves a Pulitzer, as much as Norman Mailer’s The Naked & The Dead or James Michener’s Tales of the South Pacific. Perhaps it is the lengthy delay in Leckie’s getting it published that altered the focus on work deemed worthy of the prize.
There is a great gift that the additional time has given this work; contemplation on what makes young men so adaptable to destruction, and what forces move civilization to allow such horrors to persist. This is something I can sense underly those earlier mentioned prize-winning works, but here Leckie elevates the prevailing zeitgeist of civilized savagery to an unignorable question. Are humans savages, or saints?
I’m very glad I read this. It has helped me understand situational stressors much better, and far more viscerally than I expected. This book is under-rated in the interested public’s awareness.

A fantastic historical read
Listening to this, I truly felt the pain, the anger, the honesty and the comedic realities of the war in the pacific. Having seen “The Pacific” on HBO, I was interested to find the source material and learn more about these men. James Badge Dale continued a wonderful performance from the show and I have truly come to appreciate the way the war effected not only Robert Leckie, but also the men he served with.
I would recommend this to anyone with even the faintest interest in the pacific theatre during World War II. It was informative, entertaining and felt like an honest recount of the most influential, memorable and traumatic experiences of the war.
