The Solomon Islands was where the Allied war machine finally broke the Japanese empire. As pilots, marines, and sailors fought for supremacy in Guadalcanal, Bougainville, and the Slot, a lonely group of radio operators occupied the Solomon Islands' highest points. Sometimes encamped in comfort, sometimes exposed to the elements, these coastwatchers kept lookout for squadrons of Japanese bombers headed for Allied positions, holding their own positions even when enemy troops swarmed all around. They were Australian-born but Solomon-raised, and adept at survival in the unforgiving jungle environment. Through daring and insight, they stayed one step ahead of the Japanese, often sacrificing themselves to give advance warning of an attack. In Lonely Vigil, Walter Lord, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Night to Remember and The Miracle of Dunkirk, tells of the survivors of the campaign and what they risked to win the war in the Pacific. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|zOceania. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|zSolomon Islands. 650 0 Aircraft spotting|zOceania|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Aircraft spotting|zSolomon Islands|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 Solomon Islands|xDefenses. 700 1 Dietz, Norman. 710 2 hoopla digital. 830 0 Bluejacket books. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12199563?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781977393920_180.jpeg
