  This book is an adventure story of high drama, deep emotion and intense trauma. Pain, tears, confusion and desperation are frequent companions. The reader is invited to share the innermost feelings of a mother watching her children suffer. Nevertheless, joy and laughter keep bursting through the prevailing struggles of life. The reference point to which this life story is anchored is the Word of God as found in the Holy Scriptures, and revealed in the person Jesus Himself, and awareness of whose intimate, immediate abiding Presence is the key to transforming tragedy into triumph. – Jonathan Leach 
  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:10 
  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. – Hebrews 12:2

  Guadalcanal's Forgotten Fight -...

  When the name Guadalcanal is mentioned, most picture Marines desperately fighting in the dense jungles and the United States Navy in dramatic surface battles. That story, though true, tells only part of the campaign. Less well known is the role played by the United States Army. While the Marines landed and fought off several Japanese counterattacks it was the Army's soldiers who followed and bore a large share of the brutal ground fighting that stretched on for months. These fights were not "mopping up" actions normally associated with the Army, but brutal battles against a determined enemy.Arriving under difficult conditions and often overshadowed by their naval brethren, the Army's contributions on Guadalcanal have too often been relegated to the footnotes of history. This account finally brings them out of the shadows, recounting their contribution through a blend of operational history with clear soldier perspectives. Drawing on official records, terrain analysis and firsthand testimonies, the book provides new accounts from multiple perspectives, including Japanese sources not previously published. Units such as the 25th Infantry Division, Americal Division and the 147th Infantry Regiment are covered in detail.Dave Holland, a former United States Marine and law enforcement investigator, spent three years on the ground, studying the battlefields through research, investigation, and documentation. Drawing on his military experience and investigative skills, Holland offers a detailed analysis of the campaign with attention to the role of terrain. Following on from his first work, Guadalcanal's Longest Fight, this book serves as a companion to tell the complete land campaign story.
