Stories of ordinary men who fought in a rotting jungle and survived to claim the victory that was the turning point of the Pacific War.

A saga of survival by both American and Japanese troops, GREEN HELL is the story of the green, poorly equiped 1st Marine Division standing up to the unbearable rigors of jungle warfare. In the final analysis, the men on Guadalcanal did not fight for God, country, or Mom`s apple pie--they fought to survive.

Guadalcanal was a battle that the Americans should have lost, but no one told the fighting men.
