About This Item
Volume and glossy DJ in 'As New Condition." From the front DJ flap, " 'Neptune's Inferno' is at once the most epic and the most intimate account ever written of the contest for control of the seaways of the Solomon Islands, America's first concerted offensive against the Imperial Japanese juggernaut and the true turning point of the Pacific conflict. This grim, protracted campaign has long been heralded as a marine victory. Now, with his powerful portrait of the Navy's sacrifice...Hornfischer tells for the first time the full story of the men who fought in destroyers, cruisers, and battleships in the narrow, deadly waters of 'Ironbottom Sound."
