What's a good one- or two-volume history of the entire GUADALCANAL CAMPAIGN?

Question

I read Admiral Morison's work, "The Struggle for Guadalcanal," but it's too naval-oriented. I need one history that interweaves ALL the phases of the campaign--land, sea, and air.

Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle, by Richard B. Frank, is excellent. It is quite an all encompassing and exhaustive work on the entire campaign.

Answer 2

James Jones' "The Thin Red Line"

Richard Tregaski's "Guadalcanal Diary"

Hoyt's "Guadalcanal"

and though it only covers as part of the story the excellent, excellent, excellent "Goodbye Darkness" by William Manchester
