it's still a good book despite what critics may sa
this was one of the primary sources of the battle of midway, from the japanese view, especially from someone who was there. for many years, historians have used this book as one of their references. although criticized by some revsionists, and having some minor errors, it's still a good book if you want to see midway from "the other side". personally i liked it, no matter what critics may say. fuchida was there. the critics weren't. if they don't like it, write a better book.
