Published on the battle's fiftieth anniversary in 1994 and drawing on materials not previously available it blends history with human drama to give a real sense of what happened--despite the mammoth scope of the battle. Every facet of naval warfare was involved in the struggle that engaged some two hundred thousand men and 282 American Japanese and Australian ships over more than a hundred thousand square miles of sea. The award-winning author saw combat service aboard many types of ships during his naval career and as a historian and professor of strategy and policy at the Naval War College he has studied the battle for many years. Cutler captures the milieu analyzes the strategy and tactics employed and re-creates the experiences of the participants--from seaman to admiral both Japanese and American. It is a story replete with awe-inspiring heroism failed intelligence flawed strategy brilliant deception great controversies and a cast of characters with names like Halsey Nimitz Ozawa and MacArthur. Such an exciting and revealing account of the battle is unlikely to be equaled by future writers. HarperCollins Publishers hardcover
