Historical NoteReturn to Top

Richard Tregaskis, born in New Jersey in 1916, was a war correspondent and author. Prevented by bad eyesight from enlisting in the armed forces during World War II, he covered both the Pacific and European theaters as a correspondent and was badly wounded in Italy. He chronicled his wartime experiences in many books, including "Guadalcanal Diary" (1943) and "Invasion Diary" (1944). The bulk of his career was spent reporting on events in Asia and Oceania. Tregaskis covered nine wars, including the Chinese Civil War, Korean, and Vietnam War. He also wrote poetry, novels, biographies, magazine articles, and screenplays for motion pictures and television. Tregaskis drowned near Honolulu in 1973.
