The Battle of Midway was the most significant naval battle since Trafalgar. With the infamy of Pearl Harbor still fresh in their minds, the men of the US Pacific Fleet waited for the Japanese Imperial Navy at Midway Island. This time the element of surprise had shifted, and the American forces became victors in the battle that marked the turning point of the war in the Pacific. The Battle of Midway brings together eyewitness accounts from the men who commanded and the men who fought on both sides. The sweeping narrative takes the reader into the thick of the action and shows exactly how American strategies and decisions led to the triumphant victory and the crushing defeat of the Japanese Imperial Navy force.
