Although the war in the Pacific is usually considered a carrier
war, it was the cruisers that dominated the early fighting. This
thrilling duel presents the cruiser clashes during the crucial
battles for Guadacanal in 1942, highlighting the Battle of Savo
Island on the August 9 and the Battle of Cape Esperance October
11-12th, 1942. The first was an overwhelming Japanese victory that
resulted in the loss of four Allied cruisers. However, in the
latter, the Americans managed to successfully turn the tables
despite the fact that the was fought through the night under
dangerous conditions.
This book presents a side-by-side view of the design and
development of the opposing weapons systems, illustrated with newly
commissioned digital artwork. It uses first-hand accounts to bring
the desperate battles to life and explain why the American forces
suffered early on, but eventually had their revenge.
