Reviews

The book, like all those in this series, is very accurate from a textual and iconographic point of view. The events are told day by day and hour by hour throughout the duration of the battle that raged from 4th to 7th June. The exciting narration makes us live the moments of waiting for the sighting of the two fleets and the frenzy of the fight. The photos are all related to the battle where possible, and some picture of the dioramas of the famous Norman Bel Geddes are also included. --On The Old Barbed Wire

For anyone interested in the Second World War in the Pacific, John Grehan's graphic account of the Battle of Midway makes worthwhile reading. Even those already familiar with the details of the battle itself, and with its significance to the course of the war, will find the extraordinary number of stunning photographs and the excellent captions make the battle come alive anew. --The Northern Mariner / Le marin du nord
