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]
