Musical Interlude
I've always had an interest in the Pacific War, an interest that increased last year when I visited the Philippines, and even more so this year when I visited Pearl Harbor. I've been meaning to watch the HBO mini-series The Pacific for quite a while now, and I've begun doing just that when I returned from Hawaii last weekend.
As usual, the Hans Zimmer soundtrack is amazing! And the intro is so haunting, so beautiful.
While the mini-series is good, it gives the books off which it was based no justice. With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge (Sledgehammer) is one of the most intense books I have ever read. Helmet under my Pillow was just as good.
