This book is part of the answer!

Now all I have to do is to buy the book and hire some comely mademoiselle to read it to me. Hey, that's not a bad idea!

[quote="L'Arsenal"]Hello,

Sorry, text is in French only, but believe me, for French readers the book is just awesome. It contains a day/day hour/hour report of all events during the Guadalcanal campaign !

Mon fran�ais... C'est Douloureux. (I know that is a strange translation... painful was the closest word I could think of. It isn't that it is bad. It is that there are strange holes in it, which make sometimes simple things difficult).

But, I will save the link, and keep track for when I have to refresh my French to get credit for it for my degrees (technically second/third, but they don't count what I got credit for for a "Second language" for my first degree).

Great news for all of us interested by the Pacific War. LELA Presse (Navires et Histoire) of France has just released the first volume in a series of two, that is dedicated to the Guadalcanal Campaign.
So far, it is probably the best researched and most complete book on the subject.
I am halfway of the reading of the first volume and must say that it is impressive.
The only big problem is that it is written in French, too bad !
