Summary
Jeffrey Cox’s analysis and attention to detail of even the smallest events are second to none. But what truly sets this book apart is how he combines this microscopic attention to detail, often unearthing new facts along the way, with an engaging style that transports the reader to the heart of the story, bringing the events on the deep blue of the Pacific vividly to life.

Brilliant account of Guadalcanal Battle land & sea
What is going on with this book? The first four chapters are a repeat of what is in Morning Star Midnight Sun. Then when I got to what should have been Chapter 5 the narrator states “Chapter 1” and the story then repeats the first book and Chapters 1 to 4 of this book all over again. The problem sorts itself out by Chapter 7 but frustrating all the same.
Footnote: Having now finished the book I have changed it to 5 Stars. It a brilliant account of Guadalcanal and the sea areas around it. Culminating in when aircraft of the U.S. Fifth Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) attacked a Japanese convoy carrying troops to Lae, New Guinea. Most of the Japanese task force was destroyed, and Japanese troop losses were heavy.
