Guadalcanal Diary
Unlike some of those on Guadalcanal in the fall of 1942, Richard Tregaskis volunteered to be there. He more than once narrowly escaped the enemy's fire, and so we have this incisive and exciting inside account of the initial landing of U.S. An on-location news correspondent, he lived alongside the other soldiers: sleeping on the ground -- only to be awoken by air raids -- eating the at times meager rations, and braving some of the most dangerous battlefields of World War II.
It's of world-wide importance. troops on Guadalcanal -- the significance of which cannot be overstated, for as a colonel told Tregaskis on the eve of the invasion: "It's the first time in history we've ever had a huge expedition of this kind accompanied by transports. You'd be surprised if you knew how many people all over the world are following this".
Our new edition of Guadalcanal Diary will allow the world to continue to follow this amazing story.
