n his memoir, With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa, United States Marine Eugene Sledge wrote of the grim reality he experienced during his time in the Pacific Theater. He described
his front-line infantry combat as, “...a brutish, primitive hatred, as characteristic of the horror of war in the Pacific...” Sledge earned his nickname “Sledgehammer” after the grueling assault on
the Peleliu airfield and experienced more of the “horror of war” at Bloody Nose Ridge and, ultimately, on Okinawa. While his writing would be the impetus for Ken Burns’ documentary, The War, it would be even more influential in HBO’s miniseries, The Pacific. After the war Sledge suffered from recurring nightmares but found solitude in science, ornithology, and teaching.
