The Guadalcanal campaign was one of the greatest victories of the United States ever! It was a contest of two giants, fighting a battle at the very end of their supply lines, like two wrestlers lying face down just far enough apart that they can only fighi with their fingertips. It is grossly underappreciated. For further reading I can recommend Neptune's Inferno by Hornfischer and Guadalcanal by Richard B. Frank. C-Span has a whole day of lectures on Guadalcanal which you can view on the internet. Joe S
