For anyone familiar with the Rochefort and Hypo stories . . . you're going to want to read this one.- The Battle of Midway Roundtable, 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, "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 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.

This is, without question, the definitive account of the Johnston-Tribune affair." - Paul Stillwell, author of Battleship Arizona and Battleship Missouri>/i>, "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, 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.

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.

Synopsis
Chronicles the activity of Chicago Tribune war correspondent Stanley Johnston aboard the carrier Lexington and the transport ship Barnett, during and just after the Battle of the Coral Sea. It shows how he ingratiated himself with key officers and used his access to obtain information from a secret radiogram that revealed the order of battle of Imperial Japanese Navy forces advancing on Midway., In Stanley Johnston's Blunder: The Reporter Who Spilled the Secret Behind the U.S. Navy's Victory at Midway, Elliot Carlson tells the story of Stanley Johnston, a Chicago Tribune reporter who may have exposed a vitally important U.S. naval secret during World War II. In 1942 Johnston is embarked in the aircraft carrier USS Lexington during the Battle of the Coral Sea. In addition to recording the crew's doomed effort to save the ship, Johnston displays great heroism, rescuing many endangered officers and men from the sea and earning the praise of the Lexington 's senior officers. They even recommend him for a medal. Then his story darkens. On board the rescue ship Barnett , Johnston is assigned to a cabin where messages from the Pacific Fleet commander, Admiral Chester Nimitz, are routinely, and carelessly, circulated. One reveals the order of battle of Imperial Japanese Navy forces advancing on Midway Atoll. Containing information obtained by the Navy's codebreakers, this dispatch is stamped "Top Secret." Yet it is casually passed around to some of the Lexington 's officers in the cabin while Johnston is present. Carlson captures the outrage among U.S. Navy brass when they read the 7 June 1942 Chicago Tribune front-page headline, "NAVY HAD WORD OF JAP PLAN TO STRIKE AT SEA." Admirals note that the information in the Tribune article parallels almost precisely the highly secret material in Nimitz's dispatch. They fear Japanese commanders will discover the article, grasp that their code has been cracked, and quickly change it, thereby depriving the U.S. Navy of a priceless military asset. When Navy officials confirm that Johnston wrote the story after residing in that Barnett stateroom, they think they understand the "leak." Drawing on seventy-five-year-old testimony never before released, Carlson takes readers inside the grand jury room where jurors convened by the Roosevelt administration consider charges that Johnston violated the Espionage Act. Jurors hear conflicting testimony from Navy officers while Johnston claims his story came from his own knowledge of the Japanese navy. Using FBI files, U.S. Navy records, archival materials from the Chicago Tribune , and Japanese sources, Carlson, at last, brings to light the full story of Stanley Johnston's trial., In Stanley Johnston's Blunder: The Reporter Who Spilled the Secret Behind the U.S. Navy's Victory at Midway, Elliot Carlson tells the story of Stanley Johnston, a Chicago Tribune reporter who may have exposed a vitally important U.S. naval secret during World War II.
