Title: Guadalcanal Diary by Mark Bowden, Richard Tregaskis ISBN: 0-679-64023-1 Publisher: Modern Library Pub. Date: 30 May, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.14 (7 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Ok, but not great.
Comment: This is a fair account but lacks the detail and authenticity of an actual front-line account such as E. B. Sledge's "With the Old Breed." Mr. Tregaskis was simply too far from the front lines to write with the same sort of impact imparted on the reader as in Mr. Sledge's fine effort. This book mainly consists of Mr. Tregaskis interviews of the Marines who were on the front lines during the intense fighting that occurred on Guadalcanal. Perhaps the year that this was published (1943) and the fact that the Pacific campaign was still raging has something to do with the lack of detail.
Rating: 5
Summary: Very Good
Comment: Wow, great book. i was very impressed with the way Tregaskis reported the story. He does an excellent job in entertaining the reader while putting forth the facts. Great book for ANYONE of almost ANY AGE.
Rating: 5
Summary: "The Road Back"
Comment: Read Tregaski's description of Red Mike Edson (paraphrase - the mouth smiles but not the eyes)...his account of the Tenaru River and Bloody Ridge....and marvel how the long road back started. Consider spending a few bucks on a first edition - surprisingly affordable. Then re-read every couple of years.
