{"product_id":"9781591144199","title":"Black Shoe Carrier Admiral: Frank Jack Fletcher at Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThis 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. A surface warrior, 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 Fletcher had become one of the most controversial figures in U.S. naval history and was portrayed as a timid bungler who failed to relieve Wake Island and who deliberately abandoned the Marines at Guadalcanal.","brand":"Naval Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096571646192,"sku":"9781591144199","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781591144199","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
