Book Description
This book is a 'must-read' for all military people and those who are interested in World War Two history of the South Pacific fighting. MOST DATES, PEOPLE, PLACES AND EVENTS ARE AUTHENTIC AND HISTORICALLY ACCURATE. The author knows naval practice and procedures from experience, and gives us a gripping account of "Operation Sidewinder", a superb battle plan for the quick-and-deadly PT (Patrol Torpedo) boats during the Marines' fierce and bitter fighting for Guadalcanal and its vital Henderson Field. The story begins in the President of the United States Oval Office with initial measures taken by powerful historic figures, steps that defy reader conclusions, and quickly gathers strength and direction as it draws the reader along with its gradually quickening pace without disclosing the culmination of "Operation Sidewinder" until the inevitable action EXPLODES! The ending is a shocker!
