I'm Staying with My Boys: The Heroic Life of Sgt. John Basilone

Told by a third party, albeit with his family's blessing, it is a guess as to how he would have related his story. When read in conjunction with With The Old Breed and Helmet For My Pillow it does give a much better understanding of the TV mini series The Pacific and the whole Pacific war theatre. Certainly worth reading.

If you enjoyed watching the Pacific and would like an insight in to the background of one of the main characters then you will enjoy this book.

Very good book

Interesting book, more about his home life than his war events. Clearly not written by the man himself but enjoyable.

excellent
