Book Description
Eight months to the day after Pearl Harbor, U.S. Marines landed on the Pacific island of Guadalcanal. Their mission: to seize the airfield the enemy was building and stem the southward tide of the Imperial Japanese Army. Initially unopposed and ultimately triumphant, for four months these young soldiers engaged in ferocious combat and endured debilitating heat, hunger, and disease. Sometimes with humor, always with brutal honesty, U.S. Marine Ore Marion takes readers into the jungle hell that was the Canal. Book jacket.
