"China Marine is the long-awaited sequel to E. B. Sledge's memoir, With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa. Picking up where he ends his previous book, Sledge, a young marine in the First Division, traces his company's movements and charts his own "difficult passage to peace" following his horrific experiences of battle in the Pacific.

He reflects on his duty in the ancient city of Peiping - now Beijing - and recounts the difficulty of returning to his hometown of Mobile, Alabama, and resuming civilian life haunted by the shadows of close combat."--BOOK JACKET.
