I also own this book in paperback. I've read it many times and as much as I'm left wanting more, this is the best account I have read. Shorter accounts do not make clear the contributions of all the types of planes. Only the dive bombers did any real damage, seemingly ending the Japanese threat singlehandedly. However, Lord's minute by minute account, together with the Japanese decisions and the thinking behind them, make clear how truly effective were these fruitless attacks. The delays introduced by doomed attacks by gallant men in hopelessly obsolete aircraft carrying virtually useless torpedoes and laughably useless fighters, and the ineffective attacks by equally gallant men in state of the art bombers hampered by obsolete tactics, are what caused the Japanese to lose opportunities and exhaust their excellent air screen. This set up the opportunity which the dive bombers used to destroy three of the four huge carriers in the main attack before the Japanese fleet could strike the badly outnumbered American fleet, or even strike a truly powerful blow against Midway itself.The American code breakers also get their due. Most of the attention in World War II cryptography centers on the British breaking the Ultra encryption (and usually neglects the Poles who made this possible), but without the American naval code breakers, the great gamble of Midway could not have been risked.All in all, one will not find a better book on Midway, and damned few better books on any aspect of the war.
This book is outstanding in the way it examines the assumptions each side made about the other and how those assumptions affected the way they each prepared for the encounter. On the Japanese side they assumed that their encrypted radio communications were secure when they were not. The US could read enough of their content to get a good grasp of the Japanese battle plan. The next obvious flaw in the Japanese preparation came when they 'gamed' their plan. The Red team (US) suddenly gained an advantage and the referees over-ruled it. A better approach when gaming is to allow everything to run to its conclusion then go back and see why that advantage was gained, then replan to avert the possibility of being bested in those circumstances. On the US side once they were in engagement with the enemy they made a very bad decision in commiting torpedo bombers to attack the Japanese carriers. Torpedoes which could attain 33 knots versus carriers which could attain 29 knots when the carriers possessed a withering low level air defence system was never a viable attack option which the US discovered to their detriment when few if any attacking aircraft returned. The Japanese meantime had made a decision to re-role their air defence fighters to an attack role so left their fleet without air defence. At that point the US dive bombers arrived and within a very short period dispatched all 4 Japanese carriers to 'Davy Jones locker' .This book contains enough lesson in tactics,planning, and execution, that it should be in the library of every military training school and staff college. A well written analysis of a unique battle.
I very much enjoyed the book - fairly well written. Lord presents the Japanese viewpoint, with the Japanese just as sympathetically drawn as the Americans. (Perhaps to a fault: at one point, an American flier is captured by Japanese sailors, Lord commenting something to the effect that the Japanese probably weren't overly gentle with their prisoner. Then, several pages later, Lord notes without comment that the American prisoner had "started talking.") Lord effectively juxtaposes the two narratives - American and Japanese viewpoints - to build up the tension and the suspense to great effect (even though we know how the story ends).My only quibble is with the quality of the Kindle edition: As one other reviewer notes, the book is loaded with typos, to the extent that at a few points the reader is unsure what the author is saying, and is left to wonder whether a word or a phrase was left out, or whether the author stumbled. I would have preferred ordering an old used hard copy to working with this kindle version.
I really enjoyed this book. Of course I like military history so I expected to enjoy it. One thing though...I don't think I much expanded my understanding of the battle or how the command structure operated. Most of the key events I already knew from other reading. I also did not feel that the characters of the two admirals...Fletcher and Spruance...who were key came through at all. History turns on the individual actions of individual people who find themselves in extraordinary circumstance...I particularly wanted to know more about Spruance, but nothing comes through. It's a great read, well researched and understandable, but still left me a bit unsatisfied. Perhaps I am comparing it too much to something like "Killer Angels" where the role of Colonel Chamberlain and the 20th Maine at Little Round Top demonstrate how one man, leading determined and valiant troops will alter the course of history.I knew much of the battle, having researched it a bit for an add I wrote once about the value of early warning....situational awareness...in the military context. In this case, we found them before they found us. We got in the first blows..albeit with little damage...and the resulting disruption to the Japanese plans meant they never really recovered. That and the fact our commanders made the right decisions at the key moments...hit them, and then hit them again. Don't wait...don't hesitate.
