“Book Descriptions: The battle of Midway is a glorious tale of a decisive victory by the underdog.
An American fleet of twenty-eight ships, reeling from a devastating attack at Pearl Harbor, faced a victorious Japanese fleet of eighty-eight ships. The Americans sent wave after wave of planes to bomb the Japanese fleet, and the Japanese seemed to swat them down like flies.
But when the battle was over, the Americans had triumphed. "Miracle at Midway" explains exactly how it happened. Told through eyewitness accounts by the men who commanded and fought on both sides, this sweeping saga takes you into the heat of the action and reveals the American strategies and decisions, and the Japanese blunders, that led to the American victory.
The book includes:
• A complete list of the key officers, fliers, and other fighters on both sides
• A complete list of each side's ships and their commanders
• A complete timetable of every major event in the complex battle
• A glossary of important naval terms and abbreviations
• A magnificent collection of historical photos and charts
• A carefully selected biography for further reading”
