Miracle at Midway

the long version

With the infamy of Pearl Harbor still fresh in their minds, the men of the U.S. Pacific Fleet waited for the Japanese Imperial Navy at Midway Island. This time, however, the element of surprise had shifted, and the American troops would be the victors of a battle that marked the turning point of the war in the Pacific. Like At Dawn We Slept, Miracle at Midway brings together eyewitness accounts from the men who commanded and the men who fought on both sides. The sweeping narrative takes you into the thick of action and shows exactly how American strategies and decisions led to the triumphant victory and the crushing defeat of Japan.
