Islands of the Damned. Great story, I appreciate how the story is told as a conversation. It is interesting to read the perspectives between Sledge, Leckie and the Sarge.

Islands of the damned. This was the most difficult book I have ever tried to read. The syntax was so poor that I had to read a sentence two or three times to determine the authors thought.

WOW. I met the author at a Gun show. And so far, this is a beautiful book. I love it. He is a wonderful man as well. Totally worth it. I'll recommend it to everyone i know.

Islands of the Damned. Great read.

Great book by a true hero. I shiver when I read these pages. The adversity these men faced was incredible.

Island of the Dammed. This book, written by the man that lived it, made me proud to be an American. I wanted to shake the hand of one of those understated heroes from the greatest generation, someone that made a difference. In the turmoil and self interest that prevails America and its people in 2020, the heroism and self sacrifice of that earlier generation reminds a reader of what we were and what we can be if we can ever work together again for a common goal. Memories of my Navy service in the early 50's aboard the USS Midway flooded back. While never coming close to the combat horror sergeant Bergin faced, there were the close calls during flight operations, the deck watch duty during the black of night, the roaring sea of a hurricane, the returning home to marry someone you didn't realize how much you loved until the lonely nights at sea, even though you were surrounded by 4000 other men, each with their own dream, and then the building of a life together after discharge. Many of us that served had sequences in our own lives that followed that of Sergeant Burgin, but it boggles the mind how anyone could endure the number of Combat landings, the horrors of prolonged combat against a fanatical enemy that would die before surrender, and then live to write about it in words that tell us today of how it really was. Someone once said, " Where did we find such men", and after reading this excellent book about such men I can only say, as America faces a peril as bad or worse than a defeat would have been In World War II, only this time from within, I hope and pray that we still have such men to hold us together and keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave. Men like the heroic marine that wrote, understatedly, of how he came to do his part to win that awful war and came home to tell about it. Would that the modern generation could learn about what it took to survive and win that war and use those principles of Duty, Honor and Country to win this new, undeclared war for the soul of our modern day nation. Will we find such men again? Pray we do. Semper fi

Another amazing account of the Pacific island battles during WWII. A great read told simply by another hero from America’s greatest generation. God bless all of them.

One of the best. Truly touching book that discusses more than the mere battles of the war but the friends we fight next you in the foxhole. Beautifully done, and great read! Easy, fun, and enjoyable!

Great. The best war memiour I've ever read

An Honorable Read. This man's account will "put you there". Refreshing to read of honorable men.

Excellent. For history buffs, teachers, and students -- this book is a must read. I received this book as a gift with an accompanying note from the author and it is simply astounding. Very well put together.
