Description
During World War II, the Solomon Islands became the scene of a titanic struggle between Allied and Japanese forces. After their victory on Guadalcanal, Americans advanced into the New Georgia Group with horrendous casualties. Admiral Halsey then implemented an "island hopping" strategy, bypassing Japanese strongpoints. The first was an obscure island called Vella Lavella.
The Battle for Vella Lavella is the first detailed examination of the struggle for Vella Lavella, covering the ground, air, and sea battles and the involvement of American and New Zealand soldiers, the coastwatchers, South Pacific Scouts, and the Islanders.
