Riassunto

The author of the international bestsellers, The Discovery of The Titanic and The Discovery of The Bismarck, goes in search of the 100 or more battleships, aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers and frigates sunk in some of the most terrifying naval battles of all time in Iron Bottom Sound at Guadalcanal in the Pacific during World War II. Using state of the art diving equipment, robots and underwater video and still cameras, Ballard rediscovers warships from the American, Australian and Japanese navies, many in remarkable states of preservation. New colour images contrast with archive shots and reconstructions by Ken Marschall, whose authentic pictures distinguished the Titanic and Bismarck books. Although now best-known as the explorer of the Titanic, Dr Robert Ballard has for many years been one of the world's leading marine geologists. He is the author of The Discovery of the Bismark (1987) and a novel Bright Shark (1992) with co-author Tony Chiu.
