Guadalcanal, Richard B. Frank.
Not strictly an account of the marines but it is a very comprehensive account that deals with the whole picture, marines, navy, army, air, and some insight into what the Japanese were doing. Excellent book. |

My father in law was a rifleman with headquarters Co. G-2-5 on Guadacanal. he thought that Guadacanal: Starvation Island was one of the best.
There is a book called My Farhers War by Peter Richmond that is a intriguing look at where his father was in WWII starting with Guadacanal. Interestingly he was CO of Headquarters Co. G -2-5. |
