Manufacturer

This gripping tale illuminates the final months of the decisive campaign that ultimately decided the successful conclusion of the Pacific War for the Allies. But it was not a smooth process. The campaign continued in spurts, and both the US Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy made crucial mistakes. But as the pendulum of the war swung, the Allies had a clear advantage. These were the successful efforts of the US Army Signals Intelligence Section and the Navy Communications Special Unit to monitor, intercept, decode and translate Japanese messages. It was in part due to this intelligence breakthrough that victory was achieved in the battles at Empress Augusta Bay and Cape St George, as well as the hard-fought Bougainville invasion. But the improvement in US naval strategic and tactical doctrine also contributed to the Battle of Cape St George being described as a near textbook perfect battle. At the beginning of the Guadalcanal-Solomons campaign, the US Navy was the underdog. By the end of the campaign, US naval commanders had come of age. Jeff Cox, who combines scholarly research with a novelist's flair for drama, concludes his quartet about this important campaign with this work.
