from Potomac Books Inc.
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:

This was just the book I was looking for; a detailed thoroughly documented and researched account of the battle. I felt like I was watching a newsreel of the events leading up to and through the battle.

Price: $18.45

Customer Review:

Hara gives an unusual and frank insight in the workings of the Japanese Navy during WWII.

The Unknown Battle of Midway: The Destruction of the American Torpedo Squadrons (Yale Library of Military History)
from Yale University Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:

This book covers only one aspect of the battle of Midway and covers it well - the destruction of 41 american torpedo bombers without scoring a single hit on an enemy ship. I found it well written and very readable. It covered the political, strategic and tactical level doctrines that made it almost... more info

Midway: The Battle that Doomed Japan, the Japanese Navy's Story
from Bluejacket Books
Price: $13.37

Customer Review:

As a Navy brat who grew up in the postwar era, Midway was a big deal. Of course, I read and enjoyed Fuchida's book. However, I recently finished reading "Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway" by Jonathan Parshall. In this book, it's clearly demonstrated that Fuchida did more... more info

Midway, Dauntless Victory: Fresh Perspectives on America's Seminal Naval Victory of World War II
from Pen and Sword
Price: $37.80

Customer Review:

The author seems mainly interested in showing he knows more detail of trivia than other authors on the battle. The book is poorly edited with footnotes on every page that are mainly biographies of every character mentioned. These should be in an appendix. Items that should be footnotes are carried... more info

Midway Inquest: Why the Japanese Lost the Battle of Midway (Twentieth-Century Battles)
from Indiana University Press
Price: $19.47

Customer Review:

I really wanted to like this book. The author apparently did some interesting research in Japan in the early 90's. Unfortunately, I found the presentation almost painful to wade through. The problems with the book fall into four groups:
First, there are a number of factual errors in the book.... more info

Black Shoe Carrier Admiral: Frank Jack Fletcher at Coral Sea, Midway and Guadalcanal

Black Shoe Carrier Admiral: Frank Jack Fletcher at Coral Sea, Midway & Guadalcanal
from US Naval Institute Press
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:

This account of the World War II career of Vice Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher is a needed corrective to the misinformation that has been served up to the public over many years. Samuel Eliot Morison took a dislike to Fletcher, possibly because the admiral failed to cultivate him at the time he was... more info

Miracle at Midway
from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:

This is a pretty thorough study of the famous battle. I think Walter Lord's classic volume is better written -- Lord was a better storyteller. Prange's writing is, as other reviewers pointed out, sometime unnecessarily flowery, resorting to some forced, obscure metaphors and analogies. On the other... more info

Incredible Victory: The Battle of Midway (Classics of War)
from Burford Books
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

What impressed me the most of this book, is how Walter Lord presents personal details, whether it would be the people involved or the happenings around Hawaii or the western United States. Case in point, Mr. Lord describes how the power went out in parts of Oahu cause Pearl Harbor needed extra... more info

Customer Review:

As I live outside of the USA but have a strong interest in the WW2 Pacific Theater, I tend to buy books en masse at the US Amazon.com site when I am in the USA, as the prices and selection for topics in the field are better than elsewhere.
Therefore, I threw this book into the shopping basket... more info
