I have had that on my list for a while.

One of the most fascinating books I have ever read on the subject was “Shattered Sword” that really filled in a lot of what what going on over in the IJN during that battle, the differences in the way carrier operations were conducted, damage control...radio communications(!!!), Combat Air Control, and even anti-aircraft techniques.

Simply astonishing, and I consider myself well read on the subject, and there was so much I didn’t know.
