[thewarden86]

Cut and pasted from another forum:

For those of us who enjoyed HBO's Band Of Brothers....The Pacific is due to be on HBO in march of 2010 it will be based primarily on two memoirs of U.S. Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie.

The series will tell the stories of the two authors and Marine John Basilone, and will feature well-known battles involving the 1st Marine Division, such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, as well as Basilone's involvement in the Battle of Iwo Jima.
