Kings and Generals

Battle of the Bloody Ridge (2022x150)

: 13, 2022

Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series covering the Pacific War week by week continues. Ten months into the Pacific War, we are reaching one of the high points of the conflict. In the Kokoda Track, Horii’s South Seas Detachment continues its advance towards Port Moresby and in Guadalcanal, the forces of Kawaguchi are preparing for their second major offensive of the campaign and the Battle of the Tenaru. With both events happening at the same time, the Japanese came to be as close as possible for them to materialize their objectives of seizing New Guinea and recapturing Guadalcanal, but alas, fate would see them fail on both enterprises. Today we cover the Battle of Edson’s Ridge.
