EP47 - Guadalcanal’s Longest Fight w/Dave Holland

Send us Fan MailDue to the popularity of John Basilone and the Battle of Alligator Creek, the Battle for Guadalcanal looms large in the public eye regarding World War II in the Pacific. The Pacific miniseries reinforced those popular images. But like most battles in the war, much more information is required to get a complete understanding of what happened. Dave Holland, through his popular “Guadalcanal – Walking a Battlefield” Facebook page, has begun lifting the shroud from the Battle of Guadalcanal, and in his upcoming book, Guadalcanal’s Longest Fight, he examines a series of critical battles centered around the Matanikau River. Join Joe and Dave as they discuss those battles as well as the upcoming release of Dave’s book. If you'd like to become a Patreon supporter of The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast, check us out here: https://patreon.com/WereNotLostPrivatePodcast You can check us out on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@WereNotLostPrivatePodcast If you like the pod, please hit like, subscribe and share!You can listen to us on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and a host of other podcatchers.We're also on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/werenotlostprivate1944   and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WereNotLostPrivate   You can visit Dave's Facebook page @ Guadalcanal - Walking a Battlefield and check out his book, Guadalcanal's Longest Fight, on Amazon!  https://www.amazon.com/Guadalcanals.../dp/1636245846/Support the show
