E.B. Sledge was part of the 1st Marine Division. 3rd Battalion 5th Marine Regiment.
His story also was used as part of the production of Spielberg and Hanks The Pacific.
Sledge suffered greatly from PTSD after the war and eventually was able to find his sanity and humanity again. And as I said before, I'm not usually interested in American military history but my connection to having lived in Japan for 16 years drew me to the book after seeing the series.
