Good Book, not Parshall though
Format: Kindle
The author uses more Japanese terms than any similar book that I've read but uses western naming conventions for Japanese people. I don't quite know what to think. Good diagrams.

Japanese mindset Coral Sea
Format: Kindle
This book gave me fresh insights to the Battle of the Coral Sea. I feel like I have an idea as to what was going through the Japanese minds. Well written. He make it easy to follow each step of the battle.

Interesting front to back
Format: Hardcover
Really good book. A lot from the Japanese perspective. Plenty of facts but not so much as to be boring. Amazing how much was hit or miss back then. Or just plain luck.
