Guadalcanal 1942 : The Marines Strike Back (Praeger Illustrated Military History)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
On a virtually unknown Pacific island, U.S. forces shattered the myth of Japanese invincibility. Hard-pressed American Army, Marine, and Navy units halted the enemy's apparently irresistible advance in its tracks on Guadalcanal. Over 30,000 American and Japanese casualties were suffered in five months of bitter fighting. But from this forge of blood and fire emerged a seasoned fighting force of U.S. veterans that would, island by island, sweep the Japanese back across the Pacific.
