Ten years ago this fall, I posted http://mcsmith.blogs.com/general/2006/09/shattered_sword.html
on this new book about the battle of Midway, told from the Japanese side with access to new records and analysis. I reread it this past weekend – yes, the entire book – and really enjoyed it once again. The analysis didn't seem quite as earth-shattering as it did ten years ago when it was new, but I did really enjoy it.
