Richard Tregaskis was a war correspondent who was with the marines when they landed on Guadalcanal in the summer of 1942. For seven crucial weeks he ate, slept, and sweated with the front line units. He also kept a diary, in which he described the island's occupation and the defense of that seven mile strip against innumerable attacks by superior air, land and sea forces. That remarkable diary became a Book of the Month selection in 1943 and was a best seller. For this shorter Landmark edition the author has written extra chapters to tell how the battle for Guadalcanal fitted into the history of the war in the Pacific. Tregaskis also wrote one other book in the Landmark series -- John F. Kennedy & PT 109. Random House ISBN 0394803558 9780394803555 [US]

Richard William Tregaskis (November 28, 1916 - August 15, 1973) was an American journalist and author whose best-known work is Guadalcanal Diary (1943), an account of just the first several weeks (in August - September 1942) of the U.S. Marine Corps invasion of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands during World War II. This was actually a six-month-long campaign. Tregaskis served as a war correspondent during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Shortly after the U.S. entered World War II, Tregaskis volunteered as a combat correspondent representing the International News Service. (In fact, Tregaskis was one of only two journalists on location at Guadalcanal.) Assigned to cover the war in the Pacific, Tregaskis spent part of August and most of September, 1942 reporting on Marines on Guadalcanal. He later covered the war in Europe against Germany and Italy. Tregaskis' most renowned book, Guadalcanal Diary, recorded his experiences with the Marines on Guadalcanal. As the book jacket noted, "This is a new chapter in the story of the United States Marines. Because it was written by a crack newspaperman, who knew how to do his job. . . . Until the author's departure ...
