Plot

During WWII, Guadalcanal was a strategic island for the Japanese, and after months of almost constant fighting, American military forces prevailed, shattering the myth that the Japanese were invincible. V for Victory: Guadalcanal and the Pacific Counter Attack scrutinizes these conflicts, and features the major events that made Guadalcanal a pivotal point of the war. Mistakes were made by both sides, and the Japanese suffered massive losses. This series of films depicts the leaders and soldiers of the war, and also addresses the efforts on the home front that contributed to victory. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
