Great book
BoB and The Pacific are awesome... and don't sleep on Generation Kill (like the other 2 only covers the invasion of Iraq)

I am of the unpopular opinion that its a better series than Band of Brothers. I think its because I saw The Pacific first and there it was my basis for comparison.
It’s probably a better made series. But BoB is an easier story to tell. The pacific theater was brutal.

Interesting take, I thought the Pacific was very good, but didn't think it was close to Band of Brothers.

I think Band of Brothers is the better show by a little bit. But I’m drawn to The Pacific because (humble brag) my father was a marine corp artillery officer in the 1st Marine division on Guadalcanal.
When I asked questions about it he gave me books to read, 1 was a history of the 1st marine division in Ww2 and WTOB by Sledge.
