War memoirs are extremely interesting to read, you should read the two books that the TV show "The Pacific" is based on! I totally loved reading the memoir of Dick Winters and Eugene Sledge, going to work through Robert Leckies book soon!

This is one. I don't know who the second person who wrote first hand-account is. I'm sorry.

I can heartily recommend Sledge though. I read a two of his books and he is an exceptional memoirist. Robert Leckie is also excellent, and he fought in the Pacific theater but I don't know if he was Peleliu, but he was at Okinawa.

This one's my favorite.

If you like Clancy, I highly recommend the entire John Ryan series, starting with Without Remorse and moving in chronoligical (which differs from publication) order.
