Author Vito "Ted" Pileggi has compiled stories and photos from his tour of duty with the U.S. Marine Corps in South Korea, 1951-1952. Includes 80 photos. "Easy Company Marines - More Than Brothers is a story about young men who fought in the Korean War during the years of 1951 and 1952. I was one of those young men. Our personalities are revealed through the hardships we endured fighting a determined, cunning enemy in unbearable weather. Most of us survived but, unfortunately, some of us died. The story recounts attacks on unnamed hills, our defensive positions during the peace talks, and the numerous patrols and ambushes that we prosecuted as well as the ones we repulsed. There are suspenseful moments, dreadful moments, moments of calm, and even moments of humor. Trusting my memory and that of many others who were in Korea, I have recorded the events in this story as accurately as possible. Only small amounts of dialogue can be remembered with any precision but the conversations in this writing reflect what happened at the time. There is no reason for me to believe that the anecdotes related to me by others are not true. The story begins with my enlistment in the Marine Corps and the rigors of boot camp and combat infantry training. It continues with life aboard a troop ship and my assignment to Easy Company, Second Battalion, Seventh Marine Regiment of the First Marine Division. It describes my reactions and feelings at seeing dead people for the first time in my life, and seeing people, both enemy and friends, being killed. Several paragraphs are dedicated to individual men and their experiences. The story is from the personal viewpoint of a young Marine who had no idea where he was or what was happening. It is about actual combat, moments of fear, feelings and dreams, the reality of death, despair and relief."

This book is very well written, so as to keep your attention and desire to want to keep reading it. I got a copy of this book and read it from cover to cover over the span of two days. The author has a writing style that can make the stories come true to life for the reader, and yet they are written in such a way as to not be boring or too violent.

I strongly suggest that anyone who wants to know more about the war, including our modern day students in history class, should consider seriously getting a copy of this book to read. You will not regret owning and reading this book. I have an autographed copy of this book because I liked the way in which the author described the events he personally encountered with the war and the author is a personal friend of mine.

My grandson's grandfather on his dad's side was a Navy medic with the Marines in Korea. Unfortunately he died before my grandson was old enough to talk to him about his experience there. This book is the closest thing I have been able to find to approximate what I think that conversation might have been like.
