During this webinar registrants will hear from author Dale Jenkins about Admiral Chester Nimitz's battle plan in his book Diplomats & Admirals. Jenkins argues that while Nimitz's plan was well-conceived, its execution did not go as planned. The victory at Midway was ultimately achieved through the quick thinking and bravery of the U.S. pilots, rather than the flawless execution of the original strategy.
