Book Reviews of Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle

Book Review: Outstanding.
Summary: 5 Stars

I just reread this book, about ten years after my first reading. It definitely lives up to its subtitle. Most impressive is the placing of the battle in its full context militarily and socially. Can't recommend too highly for a readable but detailed history.
