In the late summer of 1942, more than ten thousand members of the
First Marine Division held a tenuous toehold on the Pacific island
of Guadalcanal. As American marines battled Japanese forces for
control of the island, they were joined by war correspondent
Richard Tregaskis. Only one of two civilian reporters to land and
stay with the marines, Tregaskis's notebook captured the daily and
nightly terrors faced by American forces in one of World War II's
most legendary battles--and it served as the premise for his
bestselling book, Guadalcanal Diary. One of the most distinguished
combat reporters to cover World War II, Tregaskis later reported on
Cold War conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. In 1964 the Overseas Press
Club recognized his first-person reporting under hazardous
circumstances by awarding him its George Polk Award for his book
Vietnam Diary. Boomhower's riveting book is the first to tell
Tregaskis's gripping life story, concentrating on his intrepid
reporting experiences during World War II and his fascination with
war and its effect on the men who fought it.
