A refreshing and original look at a key American naval victory
using judiciously-chosen reprints." -- Galveston Daily News
"Overall, The Battle of Midway is an excellent guide to a defining
battle of modern history. The reader will not come away with an
in-depth understanding of the battle but will appreciate its
significance and, more importantly, its complexity. The diversity
of the anthology means that this large collection of short articles
provides an excellent starting point for new researchers and a
handy reference for those with existing knowledge. But, more
importantly, its focus on the importance of the human dimension at
all levels in complex warfare should see this book enter the
professional reading list of every military member, irrespective of
his or her rank or role." - Australian Defence Force Journal

college library collections." -- The Midwest Book Review "An
