Since Pearl Harbor the Japanese had been advancing remorselessly. Guam, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, Rabaul, Bougainville; all had fallen. Then Guadalcanal ... the turning point. For six months the battle raged. A Japanese general maintained that the Japanese army lay buried in the graveyard of Guadalcanal.
