This is an in-depth study of the battle of Midway that reviews the
many previous accounts and compares their accuracy and veracity with
fresh documentation that has been released recently, including new
material on the post-war analysis made by a US select committee. There
are new viewpoints on the muddle among the US Admirals; the total
failure of the USAAF, despite elaborate claims; fresh thinking on the
part played by the US Navy Dauntless dive-bombers in the action; the
mystery of the carrier Saratoga's presence; Hollywood's totally wrong
take on the battle in all the films since made about it. Also,
included are new eyewitness accounts the author has obtained and
information from Japanese sources that has never been previously
published. The lengthy Appendices will include statistical details of
the ships, the planes and the men.
