Unassuming, cheerful account of Marine life
Most potential readers will be familiar with the ‘Pacific’ miniseries and Eugene Sledge and Robert Leckie’s accounts of the same or related events. Phillip’s account is more upbeat perhaps reflecting his sunny personality and relatively less traumatic experience.
Interestingly like the other two authors he expresses strong Christian views largely ignored in the TV series. He also emphasises the power of dark humour in coping with the intense stress of battle and boredom in between action.
Definitely worth listening to.

Interesting recollection of an amazing Marine
Good book, well narated. Bit more light hearted than with the old breed or helmet for my pillow. Did not like the author's opinion on evolution at the end. Totally unrelated to subject of book. lost a star for it.

A good read.
Not as deep as Helmet For My Pillow or With The Old Breed, but still an interesting collection of stories about the experiences of a young Marine in WW2. The afterward section at the very end has a few odd moments though.

Emotionally Uplifting
So delightful! I am tempted to start listening all over again. The final chapter should be etched in granite.

You'll Be Sor-ee
A tipical story of the Korean War, but I would still recommend it to others.
