Lost at Guadalcanal : The Final Battles of the Astoria and Chicago as Described by Survivors and in Official Reports Paperback / softback
by John J. Domagalski
Paperback / softback
Description
The dramatic account of two American warships in the South Pacific, this book follows the USS Astoria (CA-34) and USS Chicago (CA-29) during the late summer of 1942, when both participated in the early days of the critical battle for Guadalcanal.
Drawing on a variety of firsthand accounts, some previously unpublished, the book tells the story from the perspective of the men aboard each ship, transporting readers inside the gun turrets, behind the lookout binoculars, and below deck as the battle rages.
Individual stories of heroism, sacrifice and survival unfold as both vessels meet their fates in the South Pacific.
