Has anyone read the Nimitz Graybook? It's an awesome experience to read that while playing WITP AE!

From 7 December 1941, the date of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, to 31 August 1945, two days before the Japanese surrender at Tokyo Bay, Pacific Fleet staff at Pearl Harbor maintained a running estimate and summary of communicatons and other records in a �gray book,� copies of which were filed with the papers of Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz at the Operational Archives, Naval History and Heritage Command, Washington Navy Yard, Washington D.C.

Reading the Nimitz diary really gives one a great appreciation of how historically accurate & good WITP AE really is.
