Summary:
"Six months after Pearl Harbor, the seemingly invincible Imperial Japanese nay proposed 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 Chester W. Nimitz dealt Japan's navy its first major defeat of the war. Three years of hard fighting remained, but it was at Midway that the tide turned."--Back cover.
