The Battle of Midway, by the Minute.: Six minutes that turned an unwinnable battle

Dawn, 4 June 1942. Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, four of the most powerful aircraft carriers ever built are preparing to strike. Their crews are battle-hardened, their pilots the finest in the world. Six months earlier, they shattered the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbour. Nothing has stopped them since.

They do not know that three American carriers are waiting for them, just over the horizon.

What follows will last less than six minutes.

Everyone knows Japan lost the Battle of Midway. Far fewer know why — or how close it came to going the other way. In this book, Berdj Anastassian rebuilds the battle moment by moment, from the first patrol flights of 3 June to the last dive bomb that sealed Japan's fate — asking the questions history books often gloss over.

You already know how it ends. You have no idea what happened.
