这是二战中最为扣人心弦的第一人称回忆录之一。1942年1月，在日军偷袭珍珠港后不久，Robert Leckie 便加入了美国海军陆战队。在 Helmet for My Pillow 中，我们跟随他的艰辛征程，从南卡罗来纳州帕里斯岛的新兵训练，一路走向太平洋战场上那些战争中最激烈的浴血奋战。回顾他在第1海军陆战师的服役经历以及在瓜达尔卡纳尔岛、新不列颠岛和佩莱利乌岛的惨烈战斗，Leckie 详尽描绘了战争的恐怖与牺牲

想深入了解美国海军陆战队（USMC）究竟为什么如此害怕失去航母支援，可以看看瓜达尔卡纳尔岛战役的记述。我推荐 Robert Leckie 写的《枕戈待旦》（Helmet For My Pillow），这也是 HBO 迷你剧《太平洋战争》（The Pacific）的原著之一。
For more details on exactly why the USMC is so afraid of being without carrier support, see accounts of the Battle of Guadalcanal. I recommend "Helmet For My Pillow" by Robert Leckie, which was also one of the books used as a basis for the HBO miniseries "The Pacific".
……认为那是一部法西斯宣传册的人，要么只是毫无批判性地看了电影，要么就是虽然费劲读了原著，但对军人是个什么样子根本毫无概念。理解《星船伞兵》（Starship Troopers）的最佳方式，就是把它看作太空版的《枕戈待旦》（Helmet for My Pillow）或者其他无数二战回忆录之一。它遵循的就是这种叙事结构。> 《星球大战》（Star Wars，太空巫师！邪恶皇帝！）说明了我们对幻想题材（fantastika）的渴望……
…is a fascist tract have only watched the movie uncritically, or have bothered to read the book, but have no concept of what military people are like. The best way to understand Starship Troopers is as Helmet for My Pillow or another of the countless WW2 memoirs, but in space. That's the narrative structure it follows. > It says something about our desire for the fantastika that "Star Wars" (space wizards! Evil emperors!)…
……那些没那么“被美化”的战争描写。电视剧能想到《太平洋战争》（The Pacific），电影能想到《狂怒》（Fury），哪怕它很套路化。回忆录也可以很真实残酷：- https://gerikson.com/blog/books/read/Helmet-For-My-Pillow.ht... - https://gerikson.com/blog/books/read/With-the-Old-Breed.html 甚至在 1989 年之前，像 Waugh 的《荣誉之剑》（Sword of Honour）三部曲这样的小说就已经在反思和质疑二战了。
…depictions of war that have been less sanitized. "The Pacific" comes to mind in TV, and "Fury" in movies, even if it's very formulaic. Memoirs can be raw too: - https://gerikson.com/blog/books/read/Helmet-For-My-Pillow.ht... - https://gerikson.com/blog/books/read/With-the-Old-Breed.html And even before 1989 novels like Waugh's "Sword of Honour" trilogy problematized WW2.
