4.5 stars

with the old breed is my favorite book of all time so of course i had to read the follow up account. when sledge describes the deer hunt at the end of the book… god my heart aches for this guy. the book itself is interesting and i wish they showed more parts of this in the pacific but i’m glad he found his happiness through science and teaching despite his trauma and survivor’s guilt. if you’ve read with the old breed and loved it/wanted the closure follow up to it, this was a really great short read.
