With its dense jungles, humid temperatures, and overall grueling conditions—Guadalcanal became a proving ground and turning point for the American and Japanese forces. Explore key battles, characters, and strategies in this brutal six-month struggle in the Solomon Islands with Museum historians and WWII authors and experts.

Part Two: The Naval Battles of Guadalcanal
Join James Hornfischer, author of Neptune’s Inferno: The US Navy at Guadalcanal, to learn about the ferocious sea battles surrounding the Solomon Islands, causing overwhelming losses on both sides of air crewman, aviators, planes, and ships. Hornfischer will chronicle the seven major naval actions in the “Iron Bottom Sound” and the incredible, gripping stories of both officers and enlisted men aboard American battleships, destroyers, and cruisers.
