Helmet for my Pillow

 Robert Leckie's work on his time as a Marine in the Pacific campaign.

Not I'm not usually a fan of the American experience however, his book was used to produce the HBO mini series produced by Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks The Pacific.

Leckie suffered a bout of PTSD from the harsh realities of the war against the Japanese. I also picked up a DVD copy of the series today as well.

I finished this book. A good read. Well written for its time, it still gives a glimpse at the horrors of war.
