The first successful amphibious landing operation of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific since 1898. The most decisive battle of the Pacific theater during World War II. The Guadalcanal Island campaign, which was compared to the "Stalingrad of the Pacific," was so bloody and brutal that it left people speechless. The "Blood Ridge" where blood flowed like rivers and the stench of death filled the air, the precise death schedule, the desperate sorrow of eating fellow soldiers, and the mummy-like Japanese "female soldiers"—why did this pristine and innocent land full of primitive charm become the "Island of Death, Island of Hunger"? Why did Japan gamble everything and fight to the death? This book will recreate the beginning and end of this "slaughterhouse" battle.
