Mat and Pete are returning to the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War, to walk another battlefield from the legendary Guadalcanal Campaign. Following on from their episode about the Thin Red Line, this time they are walking the slopes of Mount Austen, a landmark that could be seen from all parts of the battlefield and the scene of some of the bloodiest fighting in the final stages of the campaign. This is a tale of audacious patrols behind enemy lines, Medal of Honor actions, desperate fights to the last man and the unwavering support of the local people to help win one of the most important campaigns of the Second World War.
