Midway: The
Incredible Victory by Walter Lord
They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing so changed the
course of the war. More than that, they added a new name - Midway - to
that small list that inspires men by example - Marathon, the Marne, the
Somme and Rorke's Drift. Even against the greatest odds there is something
in the human spirit - a magic blend of skill, faith and valour that can
lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.
As Winston Churchill wrote, 'This memorable American victory was of
cardinal importance, not only to the United States, but to the whole
Allied cause ... At one stroke, the dominant position of Japan in the
Pacific was reversed ... The annals of war at sea present no more intense,
heart-shaking shock ... the qualities of the united States Navy and Air
Force and the American race shone forth in splendour.'
