In the five months after Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese
Navy won a string of victories in a campaign to consolidate control
of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. In June 1942, Japan suffered a devastating defeat at the Battle of Midway and was never again able to take the offensive in the Pacific. Bringing fresh perspective to the battle and its consequences, the author identifies the Japanese operational plan as major factor in the Navy’s demise and describes the profound effects Midway had on the course of the war in Europe.
