"Guadalcanal was a pivotal World War II battle in the Pacific theater - a hotly contested struggle between the Japanese and American forces for possession of a small airstrip on a beautiful but blood-soaked atoll of the Solomon Islands. Employing his day-to-day wartime notes, the press officer and historian of the First Marine Division on Guadalcanal interweaves his own story with the bigger history of this bitter air ground sea battle."
