Carrier Strike by Eric M Hammel
It was a Japanese victory - but it spelled the end for Japan in the war at sea. In Carrier Strike, Eric Hammel gives a blow-by-blow, edge-of-your-seat account of this crucial naval battle - a turning point in the bitter Guadalcanal Campaign. Drawing on American and Japanese battle reports and the recollections of aviators and seamen who were there, Hammel recreates World War II's 4th - and last - carrier versus carrier battle, the battle of the Santa Cruz Islands in October 1942. Written in the heart-stopping style that Hammel's readers have come to expect, Carrier Strike offers the only up-to-date, up-close, in-depth look at the battle that cost Japan any hope of winning the war in the Pacific.
Eric Hammel is the acclaimed author of nearly 30 works of military history. He is also a frequent contributor to the Marine Corps Gazette and other professional and history journals.
