Publisher Description
John Prados enjoys well-deserved acclaim for his work as a World War II historian and military intelligence expert. In this dramatically told reassessment of the Allies' battle for the Solomon Islands, Prados demonstrates how this campaign -- and not Midway, as commonly thought -- turned the tide in the Pacific.

Islands of Destiny Listener Reviews
-
" Good book, strong in detail and fact but not a smooth narrative. "
— Steve, 9/27/2013 -
" I love military history, but this is not an area, the campaign in the south Pacific, that I know that much about. I'm still reading this, but it's extremely well documented with primary sources. Mr. Prados has done a very nice job. "
