No Bended Knee: The Battle for Guadalcanal

Guadalcanal was one of the greatest campaigns in the history of the Marine Corps. Here, for the first time, General Twining describes the effects of the Navy's pulling out of the island, leaving the Marines to fend for themselves. Twining also recounts many of the heroic actions performed by Marine aviators that preserved America's toehold in the Pacific during the darkest days of the battle for control of the island.
