Learn moreSix months after Pearl Harbor, the seemingly invincible Imperial Japanese Navy prepared a decisive blow against the United States. After sweeping through Asia and the South Pacific, Japan's military targeted the tiny atoll of Midway, an ideal launching pad for the invasion of Hawaii and beyond. But the United States Navy was waiting for them. Thanks to cutting-edge code-breaking technology, tactical daring, and a huge stroke of luck, the Americans under Admiral Chester W. Nimitz dealt the Japanese navy its first major defeat of the war. Three years of hard fighting remained, but it was at Midway that the tide turned. This vivid, in-depth bestseller is the first book to tell the story of the epic battle from both the American and Japanese sides, showing how America won its first and greatest victory in the Pacificโand how easily it could have been a defeat.
Gordon W. Prange (1910โ1980) was a professor of history at the University of Maryland and a World War II veteran. He served as the chief historian on General Douglas MacArthurโs staff during the postwar military occupation of Japan. His 1963 Readerโs Digest article โTora! Tora! Tora!โ was later expanded into the acclaimed book At Dawn We Slept, which was completed, along with other books such as Miracle at Midway, by his colleagues Donald M. Goldstein and Katherine V. Dillon after his death.

He has also taught at the Air Force Academy, the Air War College, the Air Command and Staff College, the University of Tampa, and Troy State University. Considered the leading authority on the Pearl Harbor attack, he lives in The Villages, Florida.
