Guadalcanal - Island of the big death

We go back to Guadalcanal 7 decades after the first big battle between Japan and the allies. Master storyteller John Innes -- who lived on Guadalcanal for many years -- takes us to the battlefields and introduces us to some of the key players on this historic island, where the tide of the war turned. And historian Hugh Ambrose -- author of the book "The Pacific," gives us fantastic insight into the months long battle that was fought on the ground, in the air, and at great cost -- in the sea.

    Awesome thanks, Ken.

    When I was teaching CGSC we used Guadalcanal and others for Center of Gravity exercises.
