It's my birthday week so you all get a special bonus episode. It's been 10 months since we last had Horton on the show, and a LOT has happened in that time. Just an FYI: I don't listen to many podcasts these days. Mainly because I don't want to be influenced by anyone, but, I ALWAYS listen to Horton. So here ya go. Enjoy.

Perhaps the most important battle of the early war, Midway was the make it or break it point for the U.S. Navy. The Japanese were determined to put the pressure on Nimitz, and the admiral himself rolled the dice. Would the Americans stop the Japanese? Well, here is that story. Enjoy.

Today we move the narrative forward and find the U.S. Navy determined to hit the Japanese in the south Pacific, hopefully to stop their advance in the region. Failure to do so could mean the Japanese will threaten the shipping lanes to Australia. This battle is historic in that the two fleets, for the first time, will not actually see each other.

Today we present the last of our "author interviews" for the year. William Taylor was a Marine who served in Vietnam for 13 months, earning 3 Purple Hearts and 2 Presidential Unit citations in the process. His book about the experience is a well written one which will take you into the thick of the action. It was a pleasure to interview Bill and read his book. I know you will enjoy it just as much as I did.
