Perhaps the best ever of it's Genre///But needed Edson's Ridge

Going back at least 40 years, I've found WWII Pacific both fascinating and, perhaps, the easiest follow. Perhaps for this reason, The Pacific remains an an absolute favorite. I doubt that there was any battle fought involving Americans that was so close run affair as the Guadalcanal campaign. That battle; land, sea, and air, could have taken a small change any where along the and so profoundly have changed the war.

Of course, the nature of the series limited its scope, and although I would have loved for the naval and air battles to have received some serious attention, I understand why this didn't happen. One battle that I wish had received coverage was the Battle of Edson's, also known as "Bloody Ridge." As a "scholar" of the battle, I can hardly imagine this action being omitted from any account of the land battles.

Anyone else feel this way?
