E150 PT2: 22 on Peleliu by George Peto

I couldn’t finish and leave this book behind without saying some
words about it. In short, without question, “22 on Peleliu” is one
of my favourite books by an American Marine who served and fought
in the Pacific in WW2. “Helmet for my pillow” and “With the old
breed” are amazing in their own right, but as the author of “22 on
Peleliu” is IN FACT an Old Breed marine himself, I found his
recounting and telling of not only the battles he fought in and
training he received but his PRE-WAR time growing up in the 1930s
America and then his POST-WAR exploits and stories to be completely
captivating and exciting to listen to/read. George Peto is without
a doubt one of the most experienced Marines to write about the
subject and his first hand account and was one of the longest
living as well. I hope you enjoy this, Part 2 of Episode 150: WW2
and the marines.
