This is the first paperback edition of the revisionist work about Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, who won his battles at sea but lost the war of public opinion. Fletcher led the carrier forces in the Pacific that won against all odds at Coral Sea, Midway, and the Eastern Solomon's. Despite these successes, during the post-war era he became one of the most controversial figures in US naval history and was portrayed as a timid bungler who failed to relieve Wake Island and who abandoned the Marines at Guadalcanal.
