When you return to the Pacific campaign, I think you should check out "With the Old Breed" by E.B. Sledge. His memior of his Marine experiences on the islands of Peleliu and Okinawa. I just finished it for my class, and it's really good. John Keegan, the great British historian and writer, used "With the Old Breed" and some of it's stories for his own books on World War II.

Thanks much, Jenson. I'll look into that book soon.
I'm reading a rather funny book titled
The Flat Stick by Noah Liberman.
Funny as all hell.
