The US WWII campaign in and around the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific turned the tide in favor of the Allies in the war against Japan. Until the monumental naval and land battles in Guadalcanal in 1942, Japan was rampaging unchecked across the Pacific, threatening to dominate the entire region. The story of how a resolute group of outmanned and outgunned Marines, soldiers and sailors forced a stalemate in the Solomons and began the long, slow march to Tokyo under the leadership of Admiral Bill Halsey is a classic in the annals of US Naval History. Rick Bigelow, a student of WWII in the Pacific and the Korean War, will discuss this seminal campaign.
