Just got these a couple of weeks ago, by Eric Hammel, more for the photographs than anything else:

http://www.amazon.com/Islands-Hell-M...ref=pd_sim_b_5
http://www.amazon.com/Tarawa-Marshal...ref=pd_sim_b_2
The photos are all excellent and are Official US Marine photos. The vast majority are photos you don't normally see published and can be somewhat graphic, showing both Japanese and Marine dead as well as some excellent combat photos.
Hightly recommended. 
I was so impressed by these three books I want to get two others by him on the Guadalcanal and New Georgia campaigns.
