Incredibly good picture of the real like in a combat zone. Not a pretty picture.

This excellent first-person account by a WWII Marine on who fought on Peleliu and Okinawa is most valuable, IMHO, because it tells it like it really was with all the goo/glob aka mud, gore, blood, and many, many deaths. I rate this book about 4.25 at least, and maybe even higher, for its honesty and revelations.
