Helmet for My Pillow From Parris Island to the Pacific
War memoirs are extremely interesting to read, you should read the two books that the TV show "The Pacific" is based on! I totally loved reading the memoir of Dick Winters and Eugene Sledge, going to work through Robert Leckies book soon!

This is one. I don't know who the second person who wrote first hand-account is. I'm sorry.
I can heartily recommend Sledge though. I read a two of his books and he is an exceptional memoirist. Robert Leckie is also excellent, and he fought in the Pacific theater but I don't know if he was Peleliu, but he was at Okinawa.
This one's my favorite.

If you like Clancy, I highly recommend the entire John Ryan series, starting with Without Remorse and moving in chronoligical (which differs from publication) order.
Watch HBO's Band of brothers and HBO's The pacific then read these war memoirs,
