  • Robert Leckie va ser un autor nord-americà de llibres populars sobre història militar dels Estats Units d'Amèrica. De jove va servir a la 1a Divisió de Marines durant la Segona Guerra Mundial. Les seves experiències com a ametrallador a Guadalcanal van influir molt en la seva obra. L'abril de 2007 es va anunciar que les memòries de guerra de Leckie, Helmet for My Pillow, junt amb el llibre d'Eugene B. Sledge With the Old Breed, formarien la base de la sèrie de la HBO The Pacific, la successora a Band of Brothers. Leckie continua sent un autor popular. Té més de trenta-cinc obres, moltes de les quals es continuen reimprimint. Usa un estil directe al descriure el context i les accions de batalla. Leckie ha estat criticat per alguns historiadors per manca de rigor, sobretot per no usar notes al peu de pàgina. També ha estat descrit com a "políticament incorrecte" per la seva descripció dels enemics dels EUA i dels nadius nordamericans.
