3 quotes from With the Old Breed

  • "I can’t really define it, but I felt a change in myself; a change that was not only in my thought patterns, but one that was integrated into my very being. This is what war does to you."
  • "The things that happen in war do not happen just to soldiers; they happen to the entire people, and the psychological scars can be there long after the guns have stopped firing."
  • "In the space of a few minutes at the front, the laugh and the cry are often in close embrace."

Author : E.B. Sledge

Eugene Bondurant Sledge (November 4, 1923 – March 3, 2001) was a distinguished United States Marine, university professor, and author. His influential 1981 memoir, *With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa*, vividly recounts his harrowing combat experiences during World War II. This powerful work has been recognized as a significant source for Ken Burns's PBS documentary, *The War*, and inspired the portrayal of Sledge in the acclaimed HBO miniseries *The Pacific*, where he is depicted by actor Joseph Mazzello.
