Bloomsbury presents Midway: The Pacific War’s Most Famous Battle by Mark Stille, read by John Chancer.

A detailed re-examination of Midway, one of the most significant battles in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

In April 1942, the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy was at the zenith of its power. It had struck a severe blow against the US Navy at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, before spearheading the Japanese advance through Southeast Asia and rampaging across the South Pacific. Only a few months later, in June 1942, the US Navy managed to inflict a decisive defeat on this mighty force off Midway Atoll and the strategic initiative in the Pacific Theater passed to the US Navy.

Midway is the most famous naval battle of the Pacific War, and one of the most mythologized. The traditional view of the battle, popularized in its immediate aftermath and surviving through to the present day, is of a heavily outnumbered American force snatching victory in the face of overwhelming odds. This view is simplistic and, in many respects, wrong.

Pacific War expert Mark Stille provides a detailed analysis of this pivotal battle, and argues that Midway was neither a miraculous American victory, nor a product of good fortune, but that the plans, personalities, doctrines, ships and weapons of the two sides meant that a Japanese defeat was the more likely outcome. This new study provides an unparalleled level of insight and thorough analysis into one of the decisive moments of the Pacific War.©2024 Mark Stille (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー

[Mark Stille] ably presents the strategic context of the campaign, illuminates the tactical similarities and differences between the two navies, and adroitly compares the opposing commanders… a wonderful introduction to, as the subtitle boldly declares, The Pacific War’s Most Famous Battle.
Mark Stille's unique perspective as a former naval intelligence officer, and his adroit utilization of newer Japanese sources, make this a must-have for any serious student of this, the most important naval battle of the Second World War.
A major contribution to naval history.
Stille once again takes on the monumental task of challenging an accepted historical narrative and carries it off splendidly. The Midway epis is no longer gathering historical dust – it has emerged again as a stirring chapter in modern naval warfare.
Provides an unparalleled level of insight and analysis into one of the decisive moments of the Pacific War.
An important addition to the growing corpus of new literature on this fascinating and complicated battle.
