This is the oldest such topic, I think, of the Suprynowicz column:

Thanks for keeping the memory alive, Indcons. The MSM would rather remember Hiroshima than Guadalcanal.

Frank's Guadalcanal is excellent. It really is a must read for anyone interested in the campaign.

The August 2007 issue of Naval History magazine from The U.S. Naval Intsitute has an section entitled "Guadalcanal: The Six-Month Struggle" with articles by Frank and others.

Some really cool now and then pictures at this site: Guadalcanal Battle Sites 1942-2006
