Another good book on the “no quarter” combat in the Pacific Theater
(probably should come with a parental advisory):

Oop....Yup, "Semper Fi, Mac" would definitely come with an 'R' rating for language and violence. Like I said, it's undistilled interviews. Marines' language can be a little salty, sometimes. lol!

I'll take a look for "Old Breed"

Sledge was from Mobile, and his book was heavily used by Burns.
