“The GLORY Of The SOLOMONS” The Battle For The Pacific’s Island Fortresses. By Edwin P. Hoyt. 1943, Guadalcanal has fallen to the Allies––at a terrible price to both sides. The Japanese have pulled out, but their High Command is confident that the American victory is only temporary. Already Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines struggle in the grip of the Imperial Army––whose Sights are set on Fiji, Samona, and beyond… But American power is reaching a crescendo in the Pacific. Thousands of planes and ships are arriving for a massive assault on the Solomon Islands in June of 1943. And the top-secret “Ultra” project has cracked the Japanese military code. The Solomon Islands was one of the major staging areas of the South Pacific and was home to the famous VMF-214 "Black Sheep" Squadron commanded by Major Greg "Pappy" Boyington. This is the all-action true history of some of America’s most dramatic military triumphs… the hand-to-hand and blow-by-blow combat story of the Japanese Empire’s shattering defeat. 1990 Paperback edition. 355 pages, 25 black and white photos. 21 maps, and an index.
