Summary Dark Waters, Starry Skies: The Guadalcanal-Solomons Campaign, March-October 1943 Part of Pacific Week on WW2TV Thousands of miles from friendly ports, the US Navy had finally managed to complete the capture of Guadalcanal from the Japanese in early 1943. Now the Allies sought to keep the offensive momentum won at such a high cost. This show will cover that period, leading up to the Allied invasion of New Georgia, northwest of Guadalcanal in the middle of the Solomon Islands and the location of a major Japanese base. Determined not to repeat their mistakes at Guadalcanal, the Allies nonetheless faltered in their continuing efforts to roll back the Japanese land, air and naval forces. Our guest today is Jeffrey R. Cox making his third appearance on WW2TV. Jeffrey is a litigation attorney and an independent military historian specialising in WWII naval campaigns. His first interest was in the Pacific War, which he has studied for more than 30 years. A student of history, international affairs, and defense policy for most of his life, Cox holds a degree in National Security Policy Studies from The Ohio State University and a doctorate of jurisprudence from Indiana University School of Law.
