About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Cape Gloucester: The Green Inferno by Bernard C. Nalty. Read in English by Aaron Bennett. On the early morning of 26 December 1943, Marines poised off the coast of Japanese-held New Britain could barely make out the mile-high bulk of Mount Talawe against a sky growing light with the approach of dawn. Flame billowed from the guns of American and Australian cruisers and destroyers, shattering the early morning calm. The men of the 1st Marine Division…steeled themselves as they waited for daylight and the signal to assault the Yellow Beaches near Cape Gloucester in the northwestern part of the island. - Summary by Bernard C. Nalty
