The Last of the Old Breed: An Oral History of the Final Marines from World War II by Scott Davis
Pub date - 5/19/26
I’ll admit that I wanted to read this book for multiple reasons. History and not forgetting its starkness, admiration of the Marines, and for the personal because my beloved grandfather was a Marine in the South Pacific in WWII. Who is no longer here, and who never once, within my hearing, spoke about any of his experiences.
The stories within this book are terrifying, heartbreaking, extremely important and should never be forgotten.
I was impressed by the author’s research and writing. Recommended.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the DRC
