Miracle at Midway by Gordon W Prange. Published by Penguin Books, New York, NY, 1983. Republication. Paperback. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: VG. 469 Pgs. ISBN 0140068147. LCCN 83-9637. By Gordon W Prange, Donald M Goldstein and Katherine V Dillon. With the infamy of Pear Harbor still fresh in their minds, the men of the US Pacific Fleet waited for the Japanese Imperial Navy at Midway Island. This time, however, the element of surprise has shifted, and the American troops would be the victors of a battle that marked the turning point of the war in the Pacific. Like ''At Dawn We Slept'' this book brings together eyewitness accounts from the men who commanded and the men who fought on both sides. The sweeping narrative takes you into the thick of action and shows exactly how American strategies and decisions led to the triumphant victory and the crushing defeat of Japan. Illustrated with black and white photos. Description text copyright 2017 BooksForComfort. Item ID 32299.
