The Phillipine, Malaya, and the Dutch East Indes were lost and Darwin, Australia had been bombed. Then the Allies struck back. From the south coast of New Guinea they drove up the Owen Stanley and then on down to the sea and forced the Japanese army to evacuate. Next came the bold thrust to Guadalcanal in the Soloman Islands. It was a terrific, no holds barred, struggle. The Japanese chose to retreat rather than suffer annihilation. This book takes up after their evacuation from Guadalcanal. It tells of the development of the strategy of "Island Hopping", which became the formula for success in the Pacific. On land the war became a struggle between equals, In the air and at sea both sides reinforced at will, bombed when they chose and the loser (Japan) evacuated without interferance. Two great Captains emerged; Oscar Griswold of the 14th US Army Corps, and Noburu Sasaki, the Japanese Commander at New Georgia.
