What is Shattered sword : the untold story of the Battle of Midway about?

Many consider the Battle of Midway to have turned the tide of the Pacific War. It is without question one of the most famous battles in history. Now, for the first time since Gordon W. Prange’s bestselling __Miracle at Midway__, Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully offer a new interpretation of this great naval engagement. Unlike previous accounts, __Shattered Sword__ makes extensive use of Japanese primary sources. It also corrects the many errors of Mitsuo Fuchida’s __Midway: The Battle That Doomed Japan__, an uncritical reliance upon which has tainted every previous Western account. It thus forces a major, potentially controversial reevaluation of the great battle. Parshall and Tully examine the battle in detail and effortlessly place it within the context of the Imperial Navy’s doctrine and technology. With a foreword by leading World War II naval historian John Lundstrom, __Shattered Sword__ is an indispensable part of any military buff’s library.__Shattered Sword__is the winner of the 2005 John Lyman Book Award for the "Best Book in U.S. Naval History" and was cited by __Proceedings__ as one of its "Notable Naval Books" for 2005.
