"The naval battles for Guadalcanal in 1942 have no parallel in the history of warfare. Over a period of six long months there was an almost continuous slaughter of ships and men.
The material losses to the United States in both men and ships were immense, yet they battled on relentlessly to eventual triumph.
With the closing of the Japanese campaign to retake Guadalcanal, Japan's doom was sealed and the skills the America's had learned there were to lead them to their later victories in the Pacific War.
How these skills were acquired and at what cost are expertly analyzed in this reconstruction of events."
