John Hersey was a correspondent for Time and Life magazines when in
1942 he was sent to cover Guadalcanal, the largest of the Solomon
Islands in the Western Pacific. While there, Hersey observed a
small battle upon which Into the Valley is based. While the battle
itself was not of great significance, Hersey gives insightful
details concerning the jungle environment, recounts conversations
among the men before, during, and after battle, and describes how
the wounded were evacuated as well as other works of daily heroism.
John Hersey wrote several non-fiction books and numerous novels,
including A Bell for Adano, which won the Pulitzer Prize.
