"Guadalcanal Diary" - read it when I was ten, and two more times since then.
If you haven't read it - read it.

Richard Tregaskis. I read it. BTW, it covers the Guadalcanal campaign from August to September. I wonder if Tregaskis caught a bit of malaria while there.

"Guadalcanal Diary"Yep, read it as a yute as well. Glad you mentioned it. I'm going to see if it's available for my Kindle or Nook Color.
