520    A story of sacrifice and defiance at Guadalcanal, from the
       New York Times bestselling coauthor of A Higher Call and 
       Biggest Brother On the killing ground that was the island 
       of Guadalcanal, a two-thousand-yard-long ridge rose from 
       the jungle canopy. Behind it lay the all-important air 
       base of Henderson Field. And if Henderson Field fell, it 
       would mean the almost certain death or capture of all 12,
       500 marines on the island. But the marines positioned on 
       the ridge were no normal fighters-they were the hard-
       fighting men of Edson's Raiders, an elite fighting unit 
       within an already elite Marine Corps. Handpicked for their
       toughness and submitted to a rigorous training program to 
       weed out those less fit, they were the best of the best. 
       For two hellish nights in September 1942, about 840 
       marines-commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Merritt Austin 
       "Red Mike" Edson-fought one of the most pivotal battles of
       World War II in the Pacific, clinging desperately to their
       position on what would soon be known as Bloody Ridge. Wave
       after wave of attacking Japanese soldiers were repelled by
       the Raiders, who knew that defeat and retreat were simply 
       not options. In the end, and against all odds, the 
       defenders prevailed. Bloody Ridge and Beyond is the story 
       of the First Marine Raider Battalion, which showed courage
       and valor in the face of overwhelming numbers, as told by 
       Marlin Groft, a man who was a member of this incredible 
       fighting force.
