Book excerpt: This volume is the fourth in Captain Morison's great history to deal with naval action in the Pacific. It is concerned with the continuation of Operation "Watchtower" up from Guadalcanal and New Guinea until Rabaul was taken and the Bismarcks Barrier broken. Here also is the beginning of the advance along the New Guinea-Mindanao Axis as far as Timor. Conceived by Admiral King as early as February 1942, this drive up the line of the Solomons was also heartily approved by General MacArthur.
