Title: The old breed of marine
Description: "With a reporter's mind and photographer's eye, Felber recorded in meticulous detail the fighting that wrested Guadalcanal from the enemy in the skies, off the shores, and in the muddy jungles. As the first sergeant of Headquarters Battery, 11th Marines, Felber was responsible for writing the Record of Events for his unit; he was also granted the privilege of taking photographs during the Guadalcanal and Cape Gloucester campaigns.".

"From January 1941 through December 1945, the diary covers training and then combat in the Pacific, while revealing Felber's attempts to understand the bigger picture of the events unfolding around him."--BOOK JACKET.
