Overview
<p><b>From the author of the bestselling <i>Abandon Ship!</i> comes a classic work of World War II history.</b></p><p>Richard F. Newcomb is one of the true masters of military storytelling. <i>The Battle of Savo Island </i>is the story of the opening engagement of the Solomon Islands campaign, a unique chapter in naval history. It was the first surface encounter for a coordinated American force in nearly half a century and a very bad start. Courage and will were never lacking, but the Imperial Japanese Navy was about to hand the U.S. Navy the bitterest defeat in its history.</p>
