title: Islands of the Damned: A Marine at War in the Pacific
author:  R.V. Burgin 
description: This well-narrated tale of a marines Pacific campaigns on New Britain, Peleliu, and Okinawa inevitably invites comparison with E. B. Sledges famed With the Old Breed (1981). Indeed, Sledge was part of Burgins mortar platoon in the latter two campaigns. But Burgins tale is more plainly told, as he was a Texas farm boy instead of a college student who dropped out of OCS to get into combat. But they were both good marines, who carried their weight through some of the ugliest fighting Americans have ever faced. One reads Burgins narrative knowing that he survived and smiles when he comes home to marry his Australian fiance and settle down to a career in the Postal Service and a retirement of attending First Marine Division reunions. --Roland Green

  murderers were dumped and left to rot in this godforsaken island.
  Years later, after the fall of the General, no one wanted to bring the
