Summary:

Coveted by the Japanese for its strategic position, New Guinea became the site of one of the South Pacific's most savage campaigns of World War II. Despite their lack of jungle training, the 32nd Division's Ghost Mountain Boys marched 130 miles in six weeks over the Owen Stanley Mountains to the village of Buna. There, during two months of fierce combat, they achieved victory over the Japanese.
