This book is a gently worded revelation of how responsible branches of the United States Navy have covered up the truth about the 1942 Battle of Midway for the past 73 years. Details of the Battle were withheld from the public during the war and post war years for valid wartime reasons. However, the author maintains that wartime secrecy evolved into years of deception and misinformation. Encouraged and supported by the Naval Institute of the United States and the Naval History and Heritage Command, 21st century American authors have offered creative scenarios of their own, publishing fiction as fact, even to inventing a conspiracy that maligns aviation leaders of the aircraft carrier forces that snatched victory from defeat by smashing all four Japanese carriers in a dramatic overtime climax.to the Battle of Midway. During the decisive years of 1942 and 1943, when the outcome of the war with Japan was still in doubt, our Navy's submarines and torpedo planes were handicapped by failures of their torpedoes. The Navy's main effective offensive weapons in this crucial time were the Marines on the ground the dive bombers in the air. Still there has never been a book or film about our Navy's WW II dive bombers, not even a TV documentary...the 'cover up' is ongoing. After reading this book some Battle of Midway cognoscenti may be enraged, others will be enthusiastic, but no one will be bored. The author advises scholars of future generations to be more inquisitive, discerning, and objective.
