The Battle of Midway,
by the Minute
Six Minutes That Turned an Unwinnable Battle
“Dawn, 4 June 1942. Four of the most powerful aircraft carriers ever built are preparing to strike. They do not know that three American carriers are waiting for them, just over the horizon.”
You already know how it ends. You have no idea what happened.
“Everyone knows Japan lost the Battle of Midway. Far fewer know why — or how close it came to going the other way.”

Why this book is different
Every event is timestamped. You follow the battle as it happened — not as it was summarised afterwards. No other book on Midway does this.
You are on the bridge of Akagi and on the deck of Enterprise simultaneously. The decisions, the hesitations, the fatal errors — seen from both sides.
Written for the intelligent general reader. No naval jargon, no assumed knowledge. If you have ever been curious about Midway, this book is for you.
