Shattered Sword was probably the best, most original work on Midway I've ever read, although I think the author was a little hard on Lt Cmdr Fuchida.

Jon Parshall is interviewed in 'Refighting' as well.

Take a look at “Midway Inquest”. Great book.

He came & spoke at a Midway remembrance supper the year he published Shattered Sword. It was fascinating.

Not bad for a computer guy. I was sufficiently impressed to get a signed copy & give to my youngest son in law, also a Marine and naval aviator.

For those interested in Navy history, also try our Sea of Thunder.
