FICTION ALERT! Also spoiler alert, if you are reading the novels.
In the coming days the Times will be getting an amazing amount of mileage out of the U.S. fleets raid on the Marshall and Gilbert Islands. See page 5 for todays installment. Also page 5 from yesterday, and the original story was on February 2. In order to provide a fair and balanced presentation I am posting another excerpt from Herman Wouks novels of WWII. (We are now on volume 2, War and Remembrance.) In this case the fictional account may be more accurate historically than the mainstream media version, if you can imagine such a thing.
At this point in the novel the hero Capt. Victor Henry commands the treaty cruiser Northampton.
