This landmark study was first published in English by the Naval Institute in 1955. Widely acknowledged for its valuable Japanese insights into the battle that turned the tide of war in the Pacific, the book has made a great impact on American readers over the years. Two Japanese naval aviators who participated in the operation provide an unsparing analysis of what caused Japan's staggering defeat.

With a disarming mix of charm and Tammany-hewn toughness, Rosenberg began her career in public relations in 1920s Manhattan. As FDR's unofficial adviser, Rosenberg soon wielded enormous influence—no less potent for being subtle. Her extraordinary career continued after his death. By 1950, she was tapped to become the assistant secretary of defense—the highest position ever held by a woman in the US military—prompting Senator Joe McCarthy to wage an unsuccessful smear campaign against her.

Great Stories and Narration - Not Properly Sectioned
- De Greg en 01-01-21
Not what I expected
Revisado: 04-11-23
Be advised this does not provide even a minimally
acceptable abridgement of at least some of the included stories.
I bought this as it supposedly had an audio rendering of James Schmitz's book, "The Witches of Karres." Wrong!!! it made an extreme abridgement of that book--3 of 12 chapters, 62 of 344 pages according to the copy of the book I have! I think that this was the worst purchase I have made from more nine hundred books in my Audible library!
