Book Reviews of Guadalcanal: The U.S. Marines in World War II: A Pictorial Tribute
Book Review: A fine photographic collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent collection of photographs from the Guadalcanal campaign. Since there weren't as many photographers as later campaigns, virtually all of the pictures are non-action shots. The photos cover a wide range: aerial shots, post-bombardment damage, destroyed tanks and fortifications, piles of dead bodies, various American and Japanese commanders and troops, and lots of photos of Henderson Field and its surroundings. Some of the post-battle photos are pretty graphic, but the overall quality of the photographs is really high. Many of the photographs are ones which I've not seen before, and I've read several books on Guadalcanal. The book also contains a nice amount of text covering the events and battles of the first few months of the campaign, but the primary focus of the book is the photographs. Another fine book on the U.S. Marines in World War II from author Eric Hammel and a definite "must-have" for anyone interested in the battle for Guadalcanal.
