Title: Hammel the Great
Review: Frank may have written the seminal work on Guadalcanal, but I go with Hammel for color and ease of reading. I have read all of his Guadalcanal works, they are all excellent. This book covers the ground war for Guadalcanal, so if you think you have it bad, read it and place yourself in the place of these Marines. It was a bizarre, almost backhanded campaign for the island, poorly supported and a sideshow to the ETO. Excellent read, well written and fascinating.
