Robert Edward Lee

Presidio Press, 1981. F/NF. A pristine copy except for an inconspicuous 1/4" scratch on front of dust jacket. First Edition. Original "$15.95" still intact on dust jacket. Map, photographs, bibliography, 260 pp. "The Guadalcanal Campaign opened with one of the worst defeats in US naval history, and closed with a series of crucial and heroic victories which marked the turning point of the war in the Pacific. The challenges of the tropical out-post~tactical, medical, geographical~forged a three-service coalition of the US forces whose courage and camaraderie helped 'write the book' on modern jungle warfare. Robert Lee's precise and dramatic narrative moves from the initial landing of American troops and the disastrous sea-battle of Savo Island to the stirring land, air, and sea victories that finally wrested control of Guadalcanal from the Japanese."
