The Struggle for Guadalcanal dragged on, but by November with reinforcements pouring onto the island and with the Navy punching back at Japanese positions at Point Cruz and the Umasani River, the key naval engagement loomed on the horizon.
One of the best versions of the somewhat confused but decisive Naval Battle for Guadalcanal was written during the war by Captain Walter Karin and Commander Eric Purdon. We have met the gifted Karin before; collaborator Purdon was a former Midwestern newspaperman.
