About This Book
Richard Tregaskis's classic eyewitness account of the 1942 Guadalcanal campaign — the war correspondent went ashore with the Marines and recorded the fighting day by day. This is the 1943 Random House first edition in green cloth boards stamped with the U.S. Marine Corps emblem (jacketless), the printing that made Guadalcanal Diary the first Random House book to sell over 100,000 copies. A genuine piece of WWII publishing history.
