Neptune's Inferno

the U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal
May 19, 2013john1933 rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
I regard this as the definitive book about the WWII Battle for Guadalcanal. Hornfischer gives a detailed account of the role of the US Navy in the battle. Right down to some of the destroyers and submarines. By contrast, The Admirals, which I also enjoyed, by a different author,is almost exclusively about activities at a higher level. Last, Hornfischer has obviously done a lot of homeowrk.
