FROM THE DUST JACKET FRONT FLAP: By the spring of 1943, now that Guadalcanal had finally been secured, it was time to move farther up the Solomons in the drive against Rabaul, the major Japanese headquarters and air base situated at the northeastern end of New Britain. The next obstacle up "the slot" from Guadalcanal was the Japanese air base at Munda on the island of New Georgia. The plan was simple: the Army's 43d Division lands on suitable beaches situated east of the Munda airbase and attacks west to secure the airbase while a brigade-size force of Marines lands to the north of Munda and drives south to capture Bairoko Harbor, thereby preventing evacuation of the Japanese defenders by sea. American planners were unaware, however, that the Japanese commander, Major General Sasaki, had prepared a series of strong defensive positions and roadblocks on the trails east from Munda, the same trails that the Americans were counting on to speed their attack. These defenses, combined with incredibly difficult terrain, slowed the 43d Division to a crawl. New Georgia was not secured until August 25, three weeks behind schedule. And, General Sasaki had managed to evacuate to safety the bulk of his forces.
