All of the summer and early fall of 1942 the author was attached as a Time and Life correspondent to a Navy Task Force in the Pacific during World War II. For two-weeks in October he was on Guadalcanal, where he bunked with a naval aviator, swatted mosquitoes, dodged bombs, helped to rescue wounded men under fire, and went into action with the Marines. In the early summer of '43 he was in Africa and accompanied the American Invasion Forces to Sicily. He wrote this book shortly after his return to this country.
