This is the author's first major publication. It is the culmination of nearly thirty years' extensive research interviewing veterans, examining records, and exploring government archives in the United States and Japan. While the focus is on the details of the actual battle, the book also covers the planning on both sides that led to the action and the missions of the American and Japanese tank forces. Drawing on a wealth of previously untapped primary sources, including the vivid personal recollections of about 200 Japanese and American survivors, the author describes the events of this famous battle from deck level and from both sides. While the focus is on the details of the actual battle, he also covers the planning on both sides that led to the action and the missions of the American and Japanese task forces, as well as the roles played by intelligence, the weather, and the air forces.
