🎯 This Week's Pick

The Battle of Guadalcanal – Episode 1: The Landings

World War 2 LIVE · 59:55 · Mar 27

World War II Tactics & Battles Naval

McManus and Hymel kick off a new series on Guadalcanal, covering the strategic logic behind the landings, what the Marines actually faced on the beaches in August 1942, and the early naval and air engagements that framed the campaign. McManus brings proper academic weight to the operational detail, and at nearly an hour this has room to breathe. A strong opening to what should be an excellent series.
