GUADALCANAL HELL IN THE PACIFIC GN

Guadalcanal is a graphic novel in vivid color detailing the fierce struggle for control of the Solomon Islands, a pivotal point in the Allied campaign against Japan during World War II. Based on historical records and interviews from the men who fought in the Pacific theater, the book describes the landing operations, naval battles, and opposing military goals that surrounded one of the hardest-won campaigns in the Second World War. From Henderson Field to the Matanikau River, Allied victories forced the Japanese Navy to abandon Guadalcanal, a serious blow to the empire that would eventually lead to their surrender.
