From the author of The Ghost Ships of Archangel, one of the last unheralded heroic stories of World War II: The U-boat assault off the American coast against the men of the US Merchant Marine who were supplying the European war, and one community’s monumental contribution to that effort. Mathews County, Virginia, is a remote outpost on the Chesapeake Bay with little to offer except unspoiled scenery - but it sent an unusually large concentration of sea captains to fight in World War II.

I live in Gloucester, near Mathews and loved this. I am a navy veteran and that helped me relate to it on another level.

Many consider the Battle of Midway to have turned the tide of the Pacific War. It is without question one of the most famous battles in history. Now, for the first time since Gordon W. Prange's best-selling Miracle at Midway, Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully offer a new interpretation of this great naval engagement. Shattered Sword makes extensive use of Japanese primary sources. It also corrects the many errors of Mitsuo Fuchida's Midway: The Battle That Doomed Japan It thus forces a major, potentially controversial reevaluation of the great battle.

Detailed and well researched
Revisado: 09-26-21
If you are looking for entertainment, watch the Midway movie. If you want to know what REALLY happened, listen to this audiobook. The authors have researched the battle in such detail it approaches boredom at times. It is a story of blunders at the highest levels of command....on BOTH sides of the battle and the heroic efforts of the sailors and aviators as they struggled to fight and survive. This book revises some of the history we previously believed about the Japanese side of the battle.

Disappointing
Revisado: 07-25-21
I love the writing of Diana Gabaldon, especially the Outlander series but apparently we do not share similar taste in Sci Fi stories. Perhaps I prefer more traditional Sci Fi and this is the leading edge of the genre. In any event, I was glad when it finally ended!

Inheritance is an audiobook about secrets - secrets within families, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman's urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity, a story that has been scrupulously hidden from her for more than 50 years, years she had spent writing brilliantly, and compulsively, on themes of identity and family history.

Good but might have been condensed a bit.
Revisado: 04-03-19
I am interested in genealogy and have discovered some wonderful "cousins" through DNA testing. In this case, the author had an unexpected shock when her DNA didn't match her family tree. She stalked the source of her DNA and discovered another family. I enjoyed the story of her journey but felt that some of the details might have been edited out. This story raised a lot of ethical questions about fertility clinics and sperm and egg donors that remain unresolved. Early in the story, the author seemed devastated to discover she was only part Jewish but eventually accepted that she was part of three families instead of two as she had always believed.
