Lee Sandlin Quotes

But It Seems Somehow Paltry And Wrong To Call What Happened At Midway A "battle." It Had Nothing To Do With Battles The Way They Were Pictured In The Popular Imagination. There Were No Last-gasp Gestures Of Transcendent Heroism, No Brilliant Counterstrategies That Saved The Day. It Was More Like An Industrial Accident. It Was A Clash Not Between Armies, But Between TNT And Ignited Petroleum And Drop-forged Steel. The Thousands Who Died There Weren't Warriors But Bystanders -- The Workers At The Factory Who Happened To Draw The Shift When The Boiler Exploded.
