by Michael S. Smith

Cover of Bloody Ridge

In BLOODY RIDGE, the first book written exclusively on this battle, historian Michael S. Smith has utilized a treasure trove of primary and secondary sources on both sides of the Pacific. Interviews, first-person accounts, radio intercepts, after-action reports, diaries, and other sources were used to present this highly readable account of the most decisive battle in the Guadalcanal campaign.
