Synopsis
This fully illustrated book assesses the trial of strength between US Navy PT boats and Japanese destroyers operating in the Solomon Islands during 1942-43., During the Solomons fighting in 1942-43, the Imperial Japanese Navy was forced to rely on destroyers to move men and materiel to its forward island garrisons. These night-time missions, first seen during the struggle for Guadalcanal, were dubbed the "Tokyo Express." Unable to derail the Japanese effort by using its destroyers, the US Navy deployed patrol torpedo (PT) boats off Guadalcanal from October 1942, sinking one Japanese destroyer and damaging another. As the fighting moved into the Central Solomons, the US Navy sought to disrupt the build-up of Japanese forces on New Georgia Island and elsewhere by using cruisers and destroyers, but this approach resulted in heavy US losses. PT boat operations were increasingly important after the Japanese turned to barges to move troops and supplies. In this fully illustrated study, Mark Stille charts the course of this epic confrontation at the height of World War II in the Pacific., This fully illustrated book assesses the trial of strength between US Navy PT boats and Japanese destroyers operating in the Solomon Islands during 1942-43. During the Solomons fighting, the IJN was forced to rely on destroyers to move men and materiel to its forward garrisons. Conducted at night to avoid American air power, these missions, first seen during the struggle for Guadalcanal, were dubbed the Tokyo Express. Unable to derail the Tokyo Express by using its destroyers, the USN deployed PT boats off Guadalcanal from October 1942; sinking one destroyer and damaging another. As the fighting moved into the Central Solomons, the USN attempted to disrupt the build-up of Japanese forces on New Georgia Island and other Japanese strongholds by using cruisers and destroyers, but this approach resulted in heavy losses. PT boat operations were increasingly important after the Japanese turned to barges to move troops and supplies. Full-colour artwork and mapping and carefully chosen archive photographs complement vivid battle narratives and shrewd analysis in this lively account of the ships and men fighting on both sides in the crucial Solomon Islands campaign at the height of World War II. Renowned authority Mark Stille explores the background to this epic clash of arms, charts its course during 1942-43, and offers insights into the performance of both sides in this pivotal campaign of World War II in the Pacific.

    The seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

    Leaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
