Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book analyzes the strategic decision-making and historical context behind the withdrawal of carrier-based aviation support during the Battle of Guadalcanal in World War II. It focuses on Vice Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher's controversial decision to withdraw support on August 8, 1942, and evaluates the validity of this decision using historical records and modern military strategic models. The book covers Fletcher's leadership development, the strategic orders and guidance he received, and the operations of subordinate commanders. It aims to clarify misconceptions about Fletcher's actions and assess their strategic implications. The book is intended for military historians, strategic analysts, and readers interested in World War II naval operations. |
