Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the acclaimed author of The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors comes a "vivid and engaging" ( The Wall Street Journal ) account of the deadliest, most pivotal naval campaign of the Pacific war: Guadalcanal. "A literary tour de force that is destined to become one of the . . . definitive works about the battle for Guadalcanal."-- San Antonio Express-News The Battle of Guadalcanal has long been heralded as a Marine victory. Now, with his powerful portrait of the Navy's sacrifice, James D. Hornfischer tells for the first time the full story of the men who fought in destroyers, cruisers, and battleships in the narrow, deadly waters of "Ironbottom Sound." Here, in stunning cinematic detail, are the seven major naval actions that began in August 1942, a time when the war seemed unwinnable and America fought on a shoestring, with the outcome always in doubt. Working from interviews with survivors, unpublished eyewitness accounts, and previously unavailable documents, Hornfischer paints a vivid picture of the officers and enlisted men who opposed the Japanese in America's hour of need. Neptune's Inferno does what all great battle narratives do: It tells the gripping human stories behind the momentous events and critical decisions that altered the course of history and shaped so many lives., "A literary tour de force that is destined to become one of the . . . definitive works about the battle for Guadalcanal . . .

Working from new interviews with survivors, unpublished eyewitness accounts, and newly available documents, Hornfischer paints a vivid picture of the officers and enlisted men who opposed the Japanese in America's hour of need. The first major work on this subject in almost two decades, Neptune's Inferno does what all great battle narratives do: It tells the gripping human stories behind the momentous events and critical decisions that altered the course of history and shaped so many lives.

    Item arrived wrapped in clear packaging which was sealed and then placed in the plastic ply bag for travel. Shipping fees were low enough and that’s why I purchased this one. Item has been loved but I knew it would be based on when it was released and it was a great price for this piece of anime history. Also it was as described—great seller!

  • History set straight

    Though now remembered as a Marine operation, the battle for Guadalcanal was determined by seven Naval engagements between the USN and the IJN. Three of every four Americans killed during the battle of GC ( ~5,000 sailors, 1,500 marines) were sailors. Indeed, in two separate battles, 2600 American sailors were killed (1,300 per battle) . During one of the night battles, the USN engaged with a group of destroyers and cruisers a larger Japanese task force that included two battleships. The sailors knew ahead of time what they would face, but had to engage the IJN, to save Henderson airfield. The last two chapters are particularly moving. One details 80+ year old survivor visiting GC years later. The other details the investigation, and the human toll, of the 1st battle (Savo Island), ...

  • All the brave sailors that can not get older, they're asking after you

    An outstanding, easy reading, well researched book about the naval battles around the island of Guadalcanal in the second half of 1942. I don't think many know that more American sailors died during the battle of Guadalcanal than US Army and Marine Corps deaths combined. The book looks at what happened from the highest levels, the American president and the Japanese emperor, all the way to junior seaman patching holes or stopping bleeding or just being scared. As a retired sailor, I feel this book should be read by all sailors past and present, both for the history and as an explanation as to why so much effort is put into damage control/firefighting training.

  • Highly recommended.

    James Hornfischer was an excellent author. I’m well on my way to reading all his books. This book tells the whole story of Guadalcanal, the good, the bad and the horrifying. Lots of detail.
