1) Tales of the South Pacific by James A. Michener
It's fiction but it's really good! It recieved the 1948 Pulitzer for fiction.
2) Japanese Army in World War II: "The South Pacific and New Guinea, 1942-43" by Gordon Rottman
Very thorough and offers kind of a different view since it's about the Japanese tactics.
3) Allied Air Transport Operations South West Pacific Area in WWII by Robert H. Kelly
I haven't actually read this one, but my dad has. It's more of a reference book, but he claims it's essential for any military historian.
4) The Truth About Kieta: January 1942 by John V. Plunkett
This one focuses on one incident, obviously, but very interesting and accurate.
