Shattered Sword gets good reviews, and more good reviews
For the unitiated, I have plugged the book Shattered Sword on here a couple of times. I have several reasons:
1) It’s a DAMNED fine book - I’d wager HEAVILY that this will be THE reference volume when people look to see what the IJN did in the battle of Midway. Well, people who can’t read Japanese or afford a ticket to Tokyo.
2) I’ve known one of the authors for 9 years now.
Varifrank reviewed and gushed.
If you follow the book’s link above, you’ll see that there’s nothing but 5 star reviews on Amazon.com.

Tony,
Just finished the book. Great book for any Naval Warfare enthusiast Seems to me some Japanese folks may be a little ticked, though.
