With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene Sledge has always stuck with me. It was a book I read in my early teens when I was fascinated with war but didn't really know what war was like. Sledge's book took away any romantic notions I might have had and really drove home the horrors that those men faced.
His book was used as source material for both Ken Burns's PBS documentary, The War, as well as the HBO miniseries The Pacific.
