Description
Six months after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese set their sights on Midway in a carefully calculated plan to draw the battered U.S. Navy into a decisive battle. When Commander Joe Rochefort and his cryptanalysts break the Japanese military code, Admiral Chester Nimitz gains a crucial glimpse of the enemy’s intentions—but foreknowledge cannot lessen the danger or the human cost of the confrontation. Told through the perspectives of real-life American and Japanese commanders, this historically grounded novel explores strategy, intelligence, leadership, and the courage of those who fought in one of World War II’s pivotal turning points. With vivid military detail and a gripping two-sided perspective, it recreates the tension surrounding the Battle of Midway and the moment the Pacific war began to change.
