About this listen

The Marines called it Starvation Island. The Imperial Japanese Army called it the Island of Death. The battle for Guadalcanal, which began in August 1942 and took six months to complete, saw the 1st Marine Division effectively cut off and under constant siege with few supplies. Marked by hunger, disease, massed nighttime bayonet charges by the enemy, and constant shelling and bombing, the campaign proved a turning point in the war.

From Craig DiLouie, author of the highly acclaimed Crash Dive and Armor series and other popular WWII fiction, Hell’s Eden tells the story of Guadalcanal through the eyes of a Marine and his rifle squad. Well-trained and tough but always looking to game the system for a little comfort, they find themselves tangling not only with the Japanese but the brass.

Hell’s Eden offers a gritty, savage, and humorous portrait of this crucial campaign that saw America on offense against the seemingly invincible Japanese Empire—examining what keeps men fighting in the face of harrowing odds.

I've highly enjoyed other series by this author... Crash Dive and Armor. In this book we join a Marine squad deployed to Guadalcanal in the Pacific during WWII. It's a fun read that puts you in the heat of the action with relatable characters and that draws on many of the tropes that readers of the genre enjoy. It was easy to get through, listening to on short commutes where interruptions were frequent.

A Solid WWII Story
