The dramatic account of two American warships in the South Pacific,
this book follows the USS Astoria (CA-34) and USS Chicago (CA-29)
during the late summer of 1942, when both participated in the early
days of the critical battle for Guadalcanal. Drawing on a variety
of firsthand accounts, some previously unpublished, the book tells
the story from the perspective of the men aboard each ship,
transporting readers inside the gun turrets, behind the lookout
binoculars, and below deck as the battle rages. Individual stories
of heroism, sacrifice and survival unfold as both vessels meet
their fates in the South Pacific.
