New York Times bestseller: The true story of the WWII naval battle
portrayed in the Roland Emmerich film is "something special among
war histories" (Chicago Sun-Times). Six months after Pearl Harbor,
the seemingly invincible Imperial Japanese Navy prepared a decisive
blow against the United States. After sweeping through Asia and the
South Pacific, Japan's military targeted the tiny atoll of Midway,
an ideal launching pad for the invasion of Hawaii and beyond. But
the US Navy would be waiting for them. Thanks to cutting-edge
code-breaking technology, tactical daring, and a significant stroke
of luck, the Americans under Adm. Chester W. Nimitz dealt Japan's
navy its first major defeat in the war. Three years of hard
fighting remained, but it was at Midway that the tide turned. This
"stirring, even suspenseful narrative" is the first book to tell
the story of the epic battle from both the American and Japanese
sides (Newsday). Miracle at Midway reveals how America won its
first and greatest victory of the Pacific war-and how easily it
could have been a loss.
