Publisher: Presidio Press 1996 First Edition - ISBN 10: 0891415491 Approx. Size: 8.75" by 6" -- 206 pages It is one of the most difficult campaigns in the history of the Marine Corps, indeed in the history of war. Many books have chronicled the epic battle for Guadalcanal, yet all of them depended on the after-action report compiled by Merrill B. Twining. Here General Twining reveals that he put this report together in Australia while he was suffering from malaria. He also lacked the 1st Marine Division operations log, which had been destroyed at a critical point in the battle to prevent its falling into Japanese hands. Because of these handicaps, the after-action report contained a number of shortcomings that have been repeated in all subsequent histories of Guadalcanal. Now, General Twining sets the record straight. Beautiful book with dust jacket in like condition. The only drawback is the previous owner loved and cherished his book collection and his stamp shows on the bottom page ends, the first blank page and second page. Else wise spotless interior, wonderful book. See photos and feel free to email with any questions prior to purchase. |
