Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal by James D. HornfischerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A couple years back I read Fighter Squadron at Guadalcanal on the the early part of the Guadalcanal campaign when the VMF-212 sent detachments to operate with Cactus Air Force squadrons deployed to Henderson Field until the entire squadron was committed to the battle in mid-October. This work is much more encompassing in scope covering the entire Solomon Islands campaign, a major campaign of the Pacific War during World War II. Much detailed, almost shot for shot, this is U.S. navy focused and full of shell and torpedo strikes as well as survivor reports of gruesome killings, drownings, and shark attacks.
