Guadalcanal Diary isn’t available for the Kindle, but Challenge For The Pacific is. I’ve just downloaded it. Only, the book’s name has changed. It’s now “Challenge For The Pacific: The Turning Point of the War”. Same author, a 2010 publishing date (Kindle). I’m also sending it to my Nook Color.

I read that when I was a senior in high school. Leckie, the author, joined the Marines the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, and fought at "the Canal." He has written several books about military affairs.
