HBO's The Pacific

Submitted by Grace Lillevig [1] on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 1:17pm

HBO's ten part series The Pacific [2] debuts on March 14. I'm sure we'll be watching it as my husband and I enjoyed Band of Brothers [3], which was by the same producers (Tom Hanks, Stephen Spielberg and Gary Goetzman).  Unlike Band of Brothers, which was based on Stephen Abrose's book [4], The Pacific follows several main characters and is based on memoirs published after World War II.  The following are tie-in books in HCPL's collection:

With the Old Breed Okinawa [5] Hero of the Pacific [6] I'm Staying with My Boys [7]

Eugene B. Sledge With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa [5]

Robert Leckie. Okinawa: The Last Battle of World War II [8]

James Brady. Hero of the Pacific: The Life of Marine Legend John Basilone [6]

Jim Proser. I'm Staying with My Boys: THe Heroic Life of Sgt. John Basilone, USMC [7]
