From the Japanese soldiers' carefully calculated - and ultimately foiled - attempt to build a series of impregnable island forts on the ground to the tireless efforts of the Americans who struggled against a tenacious adversary and the temperature and terrain of the island itself, Robert Leckie captures the loneliness, the agony, and the heat of 24-hour-a-day fighting on Guadalcanal.

Combatants from both sides are brought to life: General Archer Vandegrift, who first assembled an amphibious strike force; Isoruku Yamamoto, the naval general whose innovative strategy was tested; the island-born Allied scout Jacob Vouza, who survived hideous torture to uncover the enemy's plans; and Saburo Sakai, the ace flier who shot down American planes with astonishing ease.

Propelling the Allies to eventual victory, Guadalcanal was truly the turning point of the war. Challenge for the Pacific is an unparalleled, authoritative account of this great fight that forever changed our world.

I have listened to this six times. What a book, full of real history plus real characters. Full of excitement and suspense.

Every American should hear this.

If I were a Japanese person I would would be offended at his imitation the Japanese voice. I like Robert Leckie’s character from the “Pacific” series and did enjoy his vast knowledge of American and Japanese interest histories of Guadalcanal, the Senseless dying of Japanese soldiers for the emperor was absolutely disgusting.

Well written historical book.

This telling of the Guadalcanal story captures the desperation and valor of this critical campaign. The story flows like a novel, and unlike many history books, it really draws you into the story.

What made this story significant to me is the family connection. My father served with the 1st Marine Division on Guadalcanal and I recall him speaking of being abandoned on that island. He was seriously injured during Japanese shelling and evacuated to New Zealand. This book puts all this into context for me.

I previously listened to “Neptune’s Inferno“ which covers the naval battles of the Guadalcanal campaign. That book is an excellent follow up reading as there is little overlap, but they are closely linked nonetheless.

I have read and listened to many accounts of the Battle for Guadalcanal, this is the clearist and most understandable, yet thoughtfully dramatic. I highly recommend the fine writing and excellent narration.

Incredible!

The source material is fantastic, as is the author, but the narrators Japanese accent is atrocious. it sounds like he was attempting to imitate the mice in the children's movie and American tail

The narrator's god-awful Japanese accent.
