Description

The Battle of Midway is a pivotal moment in the Pacific War, and its significance continues to be debated among historians. Shattered Sword offers a fresh perspective on this famous naval engagement, drawing on extensive use of Japanese primary sources to correct long-held misconceptions. By examining the battle in detail, Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully provide a nuanced understanding of the Imperial Navy's doctrine and technology, and their interpretation forces a major reevaluation of the battle. This new account sheds light on the complexities of the Pacific War, making it an indispensable resource for military historians and enthusiasts alike. With a foreword by leading World War II naval historian John Lundstrom, Shattered Sword is a valuable addition to any military buff's library.
