Reviews
For anyone familiar with the Rochefort and Hypo stories . . . you're going to want to read this one.- The Battle of Midway Roundtable, "For years Stanley Johnston's brazenness in publishing a purloined list of the Japanese fleet composition for the Battle of Midway has come out in dribs and drabs. Now, thanks to Elliot Carlson's thorough, meticulous research and a substantial legal victory, we now have the whole story. The text draws together biographical material on Johnston, whom the author at times treats with sympathy and other times with scorn. The prose offers you-are-there immediacy at sea, in the Chicago Tribune newsroom, and in court. This is, without question, the definitive account of the Johnston-Tribune affair." -- Paul Stillwell, Author of Battleship Arizona and Battleship Missouri, A useful read for anyone interested in Midway or the Pacific War, Stanley Johnstons Blunder is an important read for those with an interest in codebreaking and the protection of secrets, and is particularly timely given the recent uptick in leaksof political and military information.StrategyPage, "A useful read for anyone interested in Midway or the Pacific War, Stanley Johnston's Blunder is an important read for those with an interest in codebreaking and the protection of secrets, and is particularly timely given the recent uptick in 'leaks' of political and military information." -- StrategyPage, In this gripping narrative, Elliot Carlson carefully stitches together the pieces of a complex and compelling story of war, secrecy, and journalism to explain how a charming scoundrel with a colorful background nearly exposed the U.S. Navys most important secret of World War II.Craig L. Symonds, author of The Battle of Midway and Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History, U.S. Naval War College, "This fascinating and well-researched book is the first full-length monograph of the June 1942 leak that basically revealed that the U.S. Pacific Fleet had previous knowledge of the Japanese operation against the Midway Islands. Aspects of the case have been discussed before in three journal articles in the 1980s, but this is the first book-length treatment of an event that can only be described as a farce, but had the potential to turn into a real drama at a moment's notice.... This monograph should be of the greatest interest to anybody with even the most superficial interest in the problems that arise out of the cooperation between the media and armed forces in time of war. It also is a powerful reminder that seventy-two years after the war's end, there are still plenty of fields that are left untilled." --Journal of Military History, "For years Stanley Johnston's brazenness in publishing a purloined list of the Japanese fleet composition for the Battle of Midway has come out in dribs and drabs. Now, thanks to Elliot Carlson's thorough, meticulous research and a substantial legal victory, we now have the whole story. The text draws together biographical material on Johnston, whom the author at times treats with sympathy and other times with scorn. The prose offers you-are-there immediacy at sea, in the Chicago Tribune newsroom, and in court. This is, without question, the definitive account of the Johnston-Tribune affair." - Paul Stillwell, author of Battleship Arizona and Battleship Missouri>/i>, With Stanley Johnstons Blunder , veteran journalist Elliot Carlson reminds us that left-leaning publications such as the Washington Post and the New York Times were far from the first to stand up to the federal government over their decision to publish the contents of secret documents. [A]nyone serving in the military with access to secrets who even has the slightest possibility interacting with the press would profit from reading this cautionary tale.The Daybook, "Here for the first time is the inside story of events that could have resulted in the biggest intelligence blunder of World War II--drawing attention to the United States' penetration of Japanese naval codes by prosecuting the reporter and editors responsible for the news story based on a leaked message. Elliot Carlson not only tells the story, he is responsible for the lawsuit that opened the case records. "- John Prados, author of Islands of Destiny: The Solomons Campaign and the Eclipse of the Rising Sun, Here for the first time is the inside story of events that could have resulted in the biggest intelligence blunder of World War II--drawing attention to the United States' penetration of Japanese naval codes by prosecuting the reporter and editors responsible for the news story based on a leaked message. Elliot Carlson not only tells the story, he is responsible for the lawsuit that opened up the case records. " John Prados, author of Islands of Destiny, In Stanley Johnsons Blunder, , Elliot Carlson has pierced the carapace of the decades-long myth of the purported Chicago Tribunes compromise of the U.S. Navys codebreaking success at the Battle of Midway. Crisply written and meticulously researched, Carlson exposes the patchwork censorship system during World War II and the Navys overreactionitself nearly exposing the secret. Stanley Johnsons Blunder is both a lesson and a case study for todays journalists and security personnel.- Robert J. Hanyok, historian of Pacific War cryptology and co-author of West Wind Clear: Cryptology and the Winds Message ControversyA Documentary History, "In Joe Rochefort's War , Elliott Carlson gave us a key piece of the Midway story not previously revealed: the full biography of the U.S. Navy's master codebreaker. Stanley Johnston's Blunder is a logical follow-on, revealing for the first time how a convoluted set of circumstances surrounding an embarked newsman very nearly handed Rochefort's vital secrets to the Japanese." - Ronald W. Russell, editor, The Battle of Midway Roundtable, 2002-2011, Carlsons book would provide a wonderful contribution to any college course on the history of modern American journalism, legal studies of the First Amendment, or those concerning the interactions between the Fourth Estate and national security apparatuses. Throughout his retelling of the highly contentious Chicago Tribune affair, Elliot Carlson reminds us that under the right conditions, the printed word has the power to change the fortunes of entire nations. And at the epicenter of this affair was the equally contentious character of Stanley Johnston, living proof that this power should not be taken lightly.H-Net, Here for the first time is the inside story of events that could have resulted in the biggest intelligence blunder of World War IIdrawing attention to the United States' penetration of Japanese naval codes by prosecuting the reporter and editors responsible for the news story based on a leaked message.
