thanks for the recommendation, sharkbit, i will definitely take a look into the book by Eugene Sledge, it's only 5,60 Euros here - sounds like a good buy!
I haven't seen any of the series(don't have HBO), but, from what I've read about the series, I thought it was supposed to be based on the experiences of Leckie, Sledge, and Basilone.
Hollywoodized, of course.
