This volume contains photographs, period paintings by war artists, plus a host of full-colour maps, charts and diagrams. From August to November of 1942 the tropical waters off the small island of Guadalcanal were the scene of some of the fiercest sea battles of World War II. Fifty years later Robert Ballard, the man who discovered the Titanic and the Bismarck, took his exploration team to Guadalcanal. Their goal was not one ship but an entire naval battlefield of United States, Australian and Japanese ships. With them came some of the men who had served on those ships that now lay beneath Iron Bottom Sound. The memories of these survivors form this story of men and ships and war. Dr Robert Ballard is the author of "The Discovery of the Titanic" and "The Discovery of the Bismarck".
