Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle

â‚¬Å“Brilliant...an enormous work based on the most meticulous research.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"LA Times Book Review

The battle at Guadalcanalâ‚¬"which began eight months to the day after Pearl Harborâ‚¬"marked the first American offensive of World War II. It was a brutal six-month campaign that cost the lives of some 7,000 Americans and over 30,000 Japanese.

This volume, ten years in the writing, recounts the full story of the critical campaign for Guadalcanal and is based on first-time translations of official Japanese Defense Agency accounts and recently declassified U.S. radio intelligence,Â GuadalcanalÂ recreates the battleâ‚¬"on land, at sea, and in the airâ‚¬"as never before: it examines the feelings of both American and Japanese soldiers, the strategies and conflicts of their commanders, and the strengths and weaknesses of various fighting units.
