| Notes/Review |
| This is an overview of the Solomon's campaign that doesn't tell us anything about the land, sea, or air battles. Instead, we learn about the network of coastwatchers who gathered intelligence and rescued airmen and sailors. Essentially, the book is a series of short stories varying from a couple pages to entire chapters. Recommended. |
