The Guadalcanal Campaign is one of the most extensively written about of all in World War II, with more than one volume published in each of several categories: official histories, journalistic views, and personal accounts. The authoritative treatment remains John Miller, jr. Guadalcanal: The First Offensive (1949), a volume in the series United States Army in World War II. Two accounts published during the war have attracted readers from three generations: Richard Tregaskis, Guadalcanal Diary (1943) and Ira Wolfert, Battle for the Solomons (1943). More recent works include Robert Edward Lee, Victory at Guadalcanal (1981), Herbert C. Merillat, Guadalcanal Remembered (1982), and Richard B. Frank, Guadalcanal (1990).
