I found "Touched by Fire: The Land War in the South Pacific" to be a compelling read on the Solomon's Campaign.
War is hell, don't go setting up shop there.
Incidentally, it wasn't just the Americans that had a dehumanized view of the Japanese during WWII, the Koreans, Chinese, Australians, and just about anyone else who ended up under their boot thought so as well; mainly because they treated just about everyone else as inferior.
Glad we can all get along decades later, of course.
