Just finished a book, Neptune’s Inferno on the battle for Guadalcanal. One of the greatest naval battles in history. Over 5000 US Navy personnel lost their lives. Just over 1000 Marines lost their lives. On the days of November 12-14, tons of tin cans were sunk all over the Savo channel.

Next book I read will be Hornfischer’s The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors
