The Struggle for Guadalcanal, August 1942 - February 1943 by Samuel Eliot Morison
Quality paperback editions of Samuel Eliot Morison’s multi-volume History of United States Naval Operations in World War II are being published by the Naval Institute Press with new introductions by today’s leading naval historians. The first three volumes were introduced in March. Volumes 4, 5, and 6 become available in September. Critically hailed for their accuracy, narrative pace, and detail, these classic works present a complete naval record of the war written by a participant. An eminent Harvard professor, Morison was commissioned in the U.S. Naval Reserve and served aboard eleven ships in all theatres of the war. Volume 5 covers the six major engagements in waters surrounding Guadalcanal, from the Solomon Islands campaign to the courageous actions of Edson’s Raiders at the Battle of the Bloody Ridge.
