Midway: The Pacific War’s Most Famous Battle
Overview
A detailed re-examination of Midway, one of the most significant battles in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
In June 1942, the United States Navy (USN) inflicted a decisive defeat on the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) off Midway Atoll. During the battle, four Japanese fleet carriers were lost, while the Americans suffered the loss of a single carrier. This dramatic result blunted the IJN's offensive capabilities in the Pacific and passed the initiative to the USN.
The American plan was driven by exquisite intelligence and Admiral Nimitz's courage to use it to the extent he committed the USN's remaining strength to the battle. The Japanese plan exhibited total arrogance and set their carrier force up for defeat in detail. Pacific War expert Mark Stille provides a hard-core analysis of this pivotal battle, outlining in full the reasons for the American victory and the Japanese disaster – not least the key part luck played in the outcome of the battle. This new study provides an unparalleled level of insight and thorough analysis into one of the turning points of the Pacific War.
