Islands of Hell: the U.S. Marines in the Western Pacific, 1944-1945 by Eric Hammel. Since The Pacific is on HBO I figured this may go out. That and I like the coffee table books on WWII. Especially the Pacific campaign. When I worked in the Stacks at the U of I I ran across a multi-volume photo history of the Pacific campaign. Island after island after island of barren beaches surrounding swamp and mangrove forests and quickly filling up with piles of garbage, cardboard boxes, brass casings, and tin cans.
