The Battle of Savo by Stan Smith

An American Naval Tragedy So shocking was the defeat of American naval forces by the Japanese in Savo Sound, that the American public could not accept the true story until ten years afterward. On Guadalcanal, Marines were moving up the rugged Tenaru River country, ranging for battle and depending on the Navy for cover. On board the flagship McCawley, Admiral Turner was begging for carrier-based air support that never came. On the flag bridge of his heavy cruiser, Chokai, Admiral Gunichi Mikawa signalled the torpedo fire that opened "The Battle of Savo". This 1962 Macfadden Books Paperback is in fair condition. Pages very tanned, cover fairly worn, binding appears strong.
