Hornfischer Book early and save! Visit ww2museumtours.org for details. Dear friend of the Museum and fellow traveler, THE NATIONAL WWII MUSEUM I am honored to join The National WWII Museum on this tour of Guadalcanal, EDUCATIONAL TRAVEL PROGRAM the target of the first major Allied offensive of World War II. With its position in the South Pacific, Guadalcanal was an ideal location for a Japanese airfield that could threaten vital US sea lanes to Australia. Seeing the threat, the American high command resolved at once that the airfield must never become operational. On August 7, 1942, Major General Alexander A. Vandegrift’s First Marine Division carried out the first American amphibious invasion of the war, with barely a shot being fired. As we will see on the tour, the anticlimax of the landings suggested none of the hell that lay ahead. Subjected to fierce counterattacks and suicidal charges by Japanese soldiers, the Marines on Guadalcanal fought tenaciously. Traversing the terrain of Bloody Ridge, standing on the banks of the Tenaru River, and investigating the jungle terrain, we will gain a renewed appreciation for what our men achieved. Meanwhile, in the narrow straits of the Slot, the US Navy began a death match against the Japanese fleet to defend the Marine lodgment. As I wrote in my book Travel to Neptune’s Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal, the four nighttime surface actions fought in the waters off Guadalcanal claimed the lives of three sailors for every man who died in battle ashore.

Reardon August 2008 © 2008 Jeff T. Reardon All Rights Reserved ii This dissertation titled The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942 - 1943 by JEFF T. REARDON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Marvin E. Fletcher Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT REARDON, JEFF T., Ph.D., August 2008, History The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942-1943 (373 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Marvin E. Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night.

  • 'We're on Flashdrive Or CD-ROM': Disassembly and Deletion in the Digital Noir of Collateral
    Networking Knowledge: Journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network, Vol 2, No 1 (2009) ARTICLE ‘We’re on Flashdrive or CD-ROM’: Disassembly and Deletion in the Digital Noir of Collateral VINCENT M. GAINE, University of East Anglia ABSTRACT This paper analyses the inflection of film noir that occurs in Michael Mann’s Collateral, adding to a thread by Paul Schrader, John G. Cawelti and David Desser. These arguments are applied to Collateral, which features a distinctive aesthetic that I argue is ‘digital noir’. Collateral both adheres to and departs from the features of noir, presenting an environment that is similar to an information system in which lives are comparable to computer programs. The film’s digital cinematography blurs people and places together, reducing the very presence of the characters into digital information, captured by the camera for easier manipulation. KEY WORDS Digital; noir; Michael Mann; Collateral; information. Michael Mann’s 2004 film Collateral inflects the conventions and tropes of film noir in a specific way. I add this essay to a sequence of arguments made by Paul Schrader, John G. Cawelti and David Desser, as well as Jason Holt. The thread begun by Schrader and developed by Cawelti is continued by Desser and Holt, and my argument builds upon Dessers (2003, pp.536) notion of ‘global noir’ with what I argue is digital noir. This paper identifies the arguments regarding film noir that these critics have made, applying them to Collateral to demonstrate how it both adheres to and departs from the features of noir. Mann’s film applies these features to a 21st century American urban environment, an environment reminiscent of an information system in which people’s lives are comparable to computer programs.
