Reviews

"Certain battles have a special quality which cause them to be written about and written about again, Guadalcanal is such a battle . . . Guadalcanal Remembered is one of the best of the Guadalcanal books." --Edwin H. Simmons, USMC (Ret.), Naval War College Review

"The diary . . . is pure gold. The mind is snapped back to times when the most important thing in the world seemed to be four or five hours of uninterrupted sleep, a hot meal or perhaps a single day or night without bombing or shelling." --New York Times
