Description

In the desperate battle for Guadalcanal, every American soldier had to walk a thin red line between life and death. On August 7, 1942, American Marines waded into the Pacific island called Guadalcanal. They encountered jungles, alligators, insidious malaria, and a particularly deadly adversary in the Japanese soldier. Only weeks after their defeat at Midway, the Japanese were gutsy, vicious, and prepared to give their own lives to take out just one American. There was no surrender. Captured by combat photographers, here is the real story of one of America's fiercest battles in the Pacific theater. Men, ships, carriers, and planes turned a certain defeat into an excruciating yet decisive American victory. Taken in the air, at sea, and on land, these are rarely seen photographs from the Battle of Guadalcanal.
