Guadalcanal: The Bloody Assault on the Gifu | History Traveler Episode 413

Part 13 of the Guadalcanal Series | One of the biggest misconceptions of the Guadalcanal campaign is that is was strictly a Marine operation. While the Marines were the first to land on Guadalcanal and fought in the early engagements of the campaign, the U.S. Army also did some heavy fighting against the Japanese there. One of the toughest fights that the U.S. had on the island occurred at a heavily fortified Japanese position that was known as the Gifu.
