Some two years later, when he returned home, the island fighting on  Guadalcanal and Cape Gloucester had turned Sid into an \"Old Timer\" by  Marine standards, and more: he left as a boy, but came home a man.\u003cp\u003eThese are his memoirs, the humble and candid tales that Sid  collected during a Pacific odyssey spanning half the globe, from the  grueling boot camp at Parris Island, to the coconut groves of  Guadalcanal, to the romantic respite of Australia. Sid recalls his encounters with icons like Chesty Puller, General  Vandergrift, Eleanor Roosevelt, and his boyhood friend, Eugene Sledge.  He remembers the rain of steel from Japanese bombers and  battleships, the brutality of the tropical elements, and the haunting  notion of being expendable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of how Sid stood shoulder to shoulder with his  Marine brothers to discover the inner strength and deep faith necessary  to survive the dark, early days, of World War II in the Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dutton Caliber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42956198838527,"sku":"9780425246290","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780425246290_s600x595.jpg?v=1776095559","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780425246290","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
