Midway

This is a fresh and considered look at a famous turning point in the war: the battle between the Americans and the Japanese for control of the Pacific in June 1942.

Before Midway, the force of the Imperial Japanese Navy was almost unchallenged in the Pacific. This titanic naval battle was to turn the situation around, and give control at last to the US Navy - a victory that was only to be won with the loss of the "SS Yorktown". This work takes a look at the historic battle, which for the first time put the Japanese on the back foot. It is illustrated with maps and photographs.
