Description

In this book, Koburger argues that the many battles that constituted the campaign for the Solomons were the key to victory in the Pacific for the US Navy - not the battle of the Coral Sea or the Battle of Midway. Segments of the campaign - Guadalcanal, New Georgia, and Bougainville have been written about extensively. The descriptions of the naval battles are very realistic. Even in World War II, Koburger argues, the important naval struggles took place in "the narrow seas".
