review 1: This was an enjoyable book to read. It was filled with numerous facts about the importance of the battle of Midway. It was written in a manner that was both highly informative and enjoyable to read. The author was very forth coming with the facts no matter how bad some of those facts might of made our military look.All in all this was a book that provided a fair look at our military during this major battle.Added note for those history buffs that enjoy really digging into a subject. The Naval Academy archives have released Admiral Nimitz's Greybook logs of all communication during this time period.
review 2: For the uninitiated to WWII Pacific History author Symonds provides enough background story to appreciate the impact of this battle in the context of the w... moreorld conflict. For those who know the history well, there is an excellent telling of each battle in a blow by blow sequence, as well as uncovering some new information, and offering a different perspective. For those who want to come up to speed on the Pacific War, and selects only a handful of books on the subject, this should be one of them. less
