About This Novel
The Battle of Midway in June 1942 was a brilliant example of a weak force achieving a decisive victory. After the devastating damage at Pearl Harbor, an American fleet with only 28 ships faced the arrogant Japanese fleet with 88 ships. The Americans sent wave after wave of planes to bomb the Japanese fleet, but they were all shot down by the Japanese like swatting flies. However, at the end of the war, the Americans created a miracle, which completely reversed the U. S. Strategic posture of defending Japan and attacking Japan, and laid the foundation for the Allied victory in the Pacific battlefield. The Miracle of Midway explains how this happened. It is the commanders and combatants from both sides who witnessed this history who tell this magnificent legendary story. This book is a rare material for studying the history of World War II and the art of combat command.
