Description
The Battle of Guadalcanal has long been remembered as a pivotal moment in the Pacific war. James D. Hornfischer's account of the naval campaign offers a fresh perspective, focusing on the sacrifices made by American sailors and officers who fought in destroyers, cruisers, and battleships in the narrow waters of Ironbottom Sound. Hornfischer draws on interviews with survivors, unpublished eyewitness accounts, and previously unavailable documents to paint a vivid picture of the men who opposed the Japanese. The book tells the gripping human stories behind the momentous events that altered the course of history and shaped so many lives. Through seven major naval actions, Hornfischer brings to life the officers and enlisted men who fought in America's hour of need. This narrative is both a tribute to their bravery and a testament to the enduring importance of the Battle of Guadalcanal.
