  5. On Oct 21 2013 Tom Copeland (USCG) read Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal by James D. Hornfischer and commented:

    I've read quite a few books that described surface actions, and with most of them I really haven't been able to get a good picture of what happened. But the diagrams and explanations in this book were clear and straightforward and laid out the scenarios so that I could follow them. Contains a good defense - or at least backstory - on the Navy's actions and contributions at Guadalcanal.
