War in the South Pacific: Out in the Boondocks, U.S. Marines Tell Their Stories

War in the South Pacific: U.S. Marines Tell Their Stories, first published in 1943 as Out in the Boondocks: Marines in Action in the Pacific, is the account of the combat experiences of 21 Marinesâ€”told in their own wordsâ€”fighting in the bloody Solomon Islands campaign of World War II (including the islands of Guadalcanal, Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanambogo). The stories provide the reader with an intimate view of war at the frontlines (on the ground or in the sky as a Marine aviator), with the Marines facing a determined enemy who would die rather than surrender. The stories of these brave young men vividly portray the horrors of war as well as serve as a lasting reminder of the heroism displayed by these men.
