About the Book
Real Battles. Real Soldiers. Real Stories.
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 ultimatrly triumphant, for four months these young soldiers engaged in a 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.
