Miracle at Midway

New York Times bestseller: The true story of the WWII naval battle portrayed in the Roland Emmerich film is â€œsomething special among war historiesâ€ (Chicago Sun-Times).
Â
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, Japanâ€™s military targeted the tiny atoll of Midway, an ideal launching pad for the invasion of Hawaii and beyond.
Â
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.Â Nimitz dealt Japanâ€™s navy its first major defeat in the war. Three years of hard fighting remained, but it was at Midway that the tide turned.
Â
This â€œstirring, even suspenseful narrativeâ€ 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 warâ€”and how easily it could have been a loss.
