Japanese Destroyer Captain: Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Midway - The Great Naval Battles As Seen Through Japanese Eyes
from Naval Institute Press
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:

I was hesitant to buy this book at first; war stories from the Japanese captain's eyes? He is just gonna bad mouth the Americans and say a bunch of non-sense as to why the war wasn't Japan's fault I suspected.
But it turns out he is acutally pretty fair in his descriptions and most of his... more info

Goodbye, Darkness: A Memoir of the Pacific War
from Back Bay Books
Price: $11.55

Customer Review:

Those of my generation who read World War II memoirs are so removed from that time and place that we merely grasp at this experience of war and the American society that fought it. In between us and our grandparents lies the redolence of the 1950s, the enduring narcissism 1960s, and the incubus of a... more info

Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $14.96

Customer Review:

I just reread this book, about ten years after my first reading. It definitely lives up to its subtitle. Most impressive is the placing of the battle in its full context militarily and socially. Can't recommend too highly for a readable but detailed history.

from Pelican Publishing Company
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

Probably the last Medal of Honor winner of World War II to write his biography, Marine pilot Colonel Jefferson J DeBlanc died in Lafayette, Louisiana in 2007.
This is a fine personal narrative from one of the last of the great generation. DeBlanc was born in 1921 in Lockport, Louisiana, and... more info

Black Shoe Carrier Admiral: Frank Jack Fletcher at Coral Sea, Midway & Guadalcanal
from US Naval Institute Press
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:

This account of the World War II career of Vice Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher is a needed corrective to the misinformation that has been served up to the public over many years. Samuel Eliot Morison took a dislike to Fletcher, possibly because the admiral failed to cultivate him at the time he was... more info

Hell's Islands: The Untold Story of Guadalcanal (Texas A & M University Military History)
from Texas A&M University Press
Price: $25.55

Customer Review:

Has many interesting facts about the earlier history of the area. Really liked the coverage of the actions on the "outer islands". That's an aspect that hasn't been covered as well as it should in many previous works on this period of the war. Thought the naming of individual commanders down to the... more info

Price: $15.61

Customer Review:

This is an excellent book that offers many fascinating details of the carrier operations early in the war in the Pacific.
As an old sailor who was in WWII, although later than this action, I can appreciate the accuracy.
