Richard William Tregaskis (November 28, 1916 – August 15, 1973) was an American journalist and author whose best-known work is Guadalcanal Diary (1943), an account of just the first several weeks (in August - September 1942) of the U.S. Marine Corps invasion of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands during World War II. This was actually a six-month-long campaign. Tregaskis served as a war correspondent during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Shortly after the U.S. entered World War II, Tregaskis volunteered as a combat correspondent representing the International News Service. (In fact, Tregaskis was one of only two journalists on location at Guadalcanal.) Assigned to cover the war in the Pacific, Tregaskis spent part of August and most of September, 1942 reporting on Marines on Guadalcanal, a pivotal campaign in the war against Japan. He subsequently covered the war in Europe against Germany and Italy. Tregaskis' most renowned book, Guadalcanal Diary, recorded his experiences with the Marines on Guadalcanal. As the jacket of the book's first edition noted, "This is a new chapter in the story of the United States Marines. Because it was written by a crack newspaperman, who knew how to do his job. . . . Until the author's departure in a B-17 bomber on September 26th, he ate, slept, and sweated with our front-line units. His story is the straight day-by-day account of what he himself saw or learned from eyewitnesses during those seven weeks." As a testimony to the power of Tregaskis' writing, Guadalcanal Diary is still considered essential reading by present-day U.S. military personnel. More

Washington, DC: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1931. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. vii, [1], 451, [3] pages. Tables. Cover worn. This work was prepared in the Historical Section of the Army War College. It was approved and published by General Douglas MacArthur, Chief of Staff by order of the Secretary of War. The purpose of this work by the Historical Section of the Army War College was to present the essential facts of the participation of the land forces of the United States in the World War. It deals with the command, composition, and operations of large units. This volume contains outline histories of the divisions with served in Europe during the war. Original sources, the majority of which are official papers of the War Department, for the basis. The command lists were compiled for this publication by the Adjutant General. The front lines of the divisions during battle are based primarily on a series of specials studies by the American Battle Monuments Commission and an analysis by the Historical Section of the original material on file in the War Department. Units smaller than a regiment are not shown unless they were engaged in combat. Credit for participation in an operation is given a division from the time it entered corps reserve, provided the operation was in progress, or when it assumed command of a front without passing through corps reserve. The contents are presented as: Preface, Regular Army Divisions, National Guard Divisions, National Army Divisions, Composition of Divisions, Tables of Organization of Divisions, Calendar, and Abbreviations.
