Munda Trail: The New Georgia Campaign, June-August 1943

From June to August 1943, outnumbered Japanese engaged some 4,000 US infantrymen untried in jungle warfare in the Solomon Islands. A military historian depicts this nearly forgotten battle to take the Munda airfield, one of the first sustained offensive actions to turn the tide in the Pacific.
