This small island had suddenly become vitally important to both sides when the Japanese began to construct an airfield. The fight to hold the island became a monumental face off between two battle-hardened commanders--U.S. Marine Alexander Vandegrift and Japanese General Haruyoshi Hyakutake. We'll look at the battle that raged for four months, on land, at sea, and in the air. ==See Also== ==Trailer== ,,Full Version Available Upon Request,, {{ youtube>q9_fvCKFyQY }} {{tag>History Military WWII Pacific Guadalcanal Solomon_Islands HC 2000 Ar07/15 Name}}
