Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Hammel has written the most comprehensive popular account to date of what was essentially the first major counteroffensive against the Japanese in World War II and exposes controversial aspects often passed over. He discusses at length, for example, the poor intelligence-gathering efforts of the Marines before the Guadalcanal landing, the temporary abandonment of the First Marine Division by the Navy, and the meddling of Admiral Kelly Turner in the tactical deliberations of Marine Gen. A. A. Vandergrift. Although Hammel vividly describes the air and naval battlesequal in importance to the ground operationshe focuses on the hard-pressed Marine infantrymen and gives a good account of the heroics of individuals now regarded as legendary in the Corps, such men as ``Manila John'' Basilone, ``Red Mike'' Edson and ``Chesty'' Puller. Hammel is author of The Root: The Marines in Beirut. Photos. Military Book Club main selection. (March)

    Accuracy

    The pictures are fine. I am disappointed that so many of the captions are incorrect. They describe actions and locations that do not match up with the pictures. It gives the appearance of being done in a hurry or a lack of knowledge of what is being depicted in the photos.

    A Great Account of this Famous Battle!

    I loved this book. What really got me was the breakdown into the lower levels of command of the units, particularly the 1st Marine Raiders. Many times, the battle accounts are at the company level or lower. And the author doesn't leave out the air and sea battles going on simutaneously. There also are some great maps and pictures to help you understand the terrain and battle better. I would recommend this book to anyone who's serious on learning about the Battle of Guadalcanal and feeling what the the men who fought there went through.
