A great book (Though hard to find) is “Shattered Sword”


An excellent book that belongs in everyone’s library. It
is Midway and more, from the Japanese perspective.

LOL, it USED to be hard to find, I thought, but is apparently easy. I must have had a brain cramp the first time I searched for it a few years ago.

I found the book fascinating, and the author’s conclusions on the intentions of the Japanese leading up to the battle completely plausible...that is, the Aleutians were NOT a feint.

Just doesn’t fit the time frame at all...:)
