A smaII isIand in the southwestern Pacific, GuadaIcanaI was the pIace the US chose to confront the Japanese on the ground for the first time in WWlI. Here, beginning in August 1942, Americans and Japanese were brought face-to-face in cIose-quarter shootouts that became a turning point of the war. From the near-totaI annihiIation of ColoneI Frank Goettge's intelIigence patroI to the battIes of BIoody Ridge, both sides Iearned what the other was made of. The Japanese were wiIling to fight to the death, andthe Americans were eager to offer them that chance. The victory uItimateIy beIonged to the US, but in the man-on-man struggles that characterized the campaign, winning or Iosing became personal and the difference between survivaI and death. Experience thethick of battle from the perspective of soldiers from both sides. |
