June 1942: Six months after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Empire appears unstoppable. To break the backbone of the American fleet, Admiral Yamamoto plans the most ambitious attack ever undertaken in the Pacific: the invasion of Midway Atoll. But Washington possesses a secret weapon: cryptanalysts have cracked the Japanese codes. In three days of bitter fightingfeaturing low-level attacks, obsolete torpedo bombers, and breathtaking dive-bombing runs under anti-aircraft firethe fate of the war changes forever. As the aircraft carriers *Akagi*, *Kaga*, *Soryu*, and *Hiryu* go up in flames, the Japanese wave collapses. Midway is not merely a victory; it is the turning point. Through acts of desperate courage, fatal errors, and the heroism of dive-bomber pilots, this book takes you into the very heart of the battle that halted the Empire of the Rising Sun and secured the Pacific for the United States. It is a story of codes, fire, and steelone in which every decision could be the last.
