First Edition; A Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket. A handsome copy of this account of the Coastwatchers of the Solomons, who in Halsey's opinion, saved Guadalcanal, and thus saved the Pacific War. This copy is in very good condition with moderate sunning to the top board edges, else near fine or better; housed in a crisp and bright very good dust jacket that shows only some light rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and edges, and a long crease to the front flap, else fine. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
