New York Times Bestseller: Outgunned and outmanned on the Pacific Ocean, a small American fleet defied the odds and turned the tide of World War II. On the morning of June 4, 1942, doom sailed on Midway. Hoping to put itself within striking distance of Hawaii and California, the Japanese navy planned an ambush that would obliterate the remnants of the American Pacific fleet. On paper, the Americans had no chance of winning. They had fewer ships, slower fighters, and almost no battle experience. But because their codebreakers knew what was coming, the American navy was able to prepare an ambush of its own. Over two days of savage battle, American sailors and pilots broke the spine of the Japanese war machine. The United States prevailed against momentous odds; never again did Japan advance. In stunning detail, Walter Lord, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Day of Infamy and A Night to Remember, tells the story of one of the greatest upsets in naval history.

Kriget i Stilla Havet hamnar ofta lite i skymundan här. Kanske för att vi européer ibland har lite svårare att relatera till platserna osv. "Ett krig, långt, långt borta..."Boken är skriven ur ett humant perspektiv och redogör för både japanska så väl som allierades öden med hjälp av utdrag från loggar och ögonvittnen.Boken ger också en bild av vilken okonventionell fiende Japan var.Lite sävlig uppläsare till en början, men så snart man kommit in i boken fungerar uppläsarens takt och ton till bokens handling.
