An even more current book than Shattered Sword, which I enjoyed, also examines Midway anew, claiming to debunk many commonly held assumptions as to the basis of victory and defeat. It is Midway Inquest, by Dallas Woodbury Isom. It is well researched and generally proposes that the victory was a much...

My view is that Gore has seized a volatile topic to keep himself in the public eye. I don't doubt that he believes in his crusade. Nevertheless, there is ample scientific discussion to the contrary of his positions, enough to shed doubt on his findings. I had not seen his product, but believes it ig...

First hand history of WWII destroyer USS Dale
