About this product
Product Information
Winner, 2023 Arizona-New Mexico Book Awards, Historical Fiction Twice torpedoed during the Battle of the Atlantic, LT. Tony Colombo USNR, a former merchant marine officer, is appointed to command a new Navy ship, PC-450, a 173 foot, steel-hulled and much advanced submarine chaser carrying five officers and sixty-five men. After a period of escorting convoys up and down the Atlantic coast, Tony suddenly finds himself escorting ships loaded with Marine Corps equipment all the way to Wellington, New Zealand and then to Brisbane, Australia.Once arrived, he is instantly ordered to begin escorting small convoys up and down the Australian coast. Some weeks later, Tony and PC-450 engage in battle with a dangerous Japanese midget submarine which is attempting to penetrate Brisbane Harbor.In the summer of 1942, as PC-450 begins to escort numerous convoys from Australia to Noumea in New Caledonia, the United States suddenly invades Guadalcanal with the result that Tony begins guiding convoys north in support of the invasion while fending off the multiple day and night air raids that the Japanese throw down The Slot. Subsequently, following the hard fought victory on Guadalcanal, PC-450 participates in the invasion of the Russell Islands and then, during the grinding fight for New Georgia, PC-450 not only helps to fend off Japanese air attacks on the fleet but twice engages in surface actions when the Japanese attempt to infiltrate troops onto the island. Wounded in a sudden air attack that radar could not detect in advance, Tony and Baldy are returned to Brisbane for convalescence and new assignments.

Reviews
Fresh, convincing, coupled with a sharp eye for detail and inspiring narration of a well-told story, In the Shadows of Guadalcanal deals with grit, loyalty, and friendship., The story provides insight on what it was like in units that supported the front-line troops--they by no means had a soft job., People won't forget the visceral impact of these real-life characters. Ordinary people, pushed to extraordinary ends, surviving the true horrors of war accurately portrayed. A military, naval, novel you won't want to put down., Casemate has a long history of publishing high quality military history non-fiction. Lately, they have expanded their range of work to include well written novels using wartime settings., ...clearly infused with the author's years of experience as a U.S. Naval officer and his familiarity with the history of American armed forces in the Pacific Theatre of World War II. The result is a simply riveting and entertaining read from first page to last., As before, the period details are excellent, if sometimes seeming a bit stretched, but I bow to Parotti's research and extension of period research., A page-turning historical portrayal of love, war, hardship and discovery of the true cost for sailors' survival. Those who were at sea in any war time will savor every page., The authentic, crawling passage of time - something a movie can scarcely duplicate distinguishes [Parotti's] account."
