6: With The Old Breed by E.B. Sledge

Welcome to episode 6 of the Enlightened Neanderthals podcast!  This is our first of many book reports: With the Old Breed by Eugene B. Sledge, published by Oxford University Press.  This is another fun episode about an outstanding book!  Eugene Sledge is a Marine who fought in the bitter campaigns for Peleliu and Okinawa in WWII.  His memoir of his service captures the horrors of close fighting the Marines experienced with the Japanese army and the outright slaughter and attrition of the island hopping campaigns that led to the first and only use of nuclear weapons against an enemy.

And owls.
