There are few moments in American history in which the course of events tipped so suddenly and so dramatically as at the Battle of Midway. At dawn of June 4, 1942, a rampaging Japanese navy ruled the Pacific. By sunset, their vaunted carrier force (the Kido Butai) had been sunk and their grip on the Pacific had been loosened forever. In this absolutely riveting account of a key moment in the history of World War II, one of America's leading naval historians, Craig L. Symonds paints an unforgettable portrait of ingenuity, courage, and sacrifice. Symonds begins with the arrival of Admiral Chester A. Nimitz at Pearl Harbor after the devastating Japanese attack, and describes the key events leading to the climactic battle, including both Coral Sea-the first battle in history against opposing carrier forces-and Jimmy Doolittle's daring raid of Tokyo. He focuses throughout on the people involved, offering telling portraits of Admirals Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance and numerous other Americans, as well as the leading Japanese figures, including the poker-loving Admiral Yamamoto.Indeed, Symonds sheds much light on the aspects of Japanese culture-such as their single-minded devotion to combat, which led to poorly armored planes and inadequate fire-safety measures on their ships-that contributed to their defeat. The author's account of the battle itself is masterful, weaving together the many disparate threads of attack-attacks which failed in the early going-that ultimately created a five-minute window in which three of the four Japanese carriers were mortally wounded, changing the course of the Pacific war in an eye-blink. Symonds is the first historian to argue that the victory at Midway was not simply a matter of luck, pointing out that Nimitz had equal forces, superior intelligence, and the element of surprise. Nimitz had a strong hand, Symonds concludes, and he rightly expected to win.

„Kde život náš je v půli se svou poutí“ je úvodním veršem z Pekla Danteho Božské komedie, název se tak již v úvodu staví do trpkého kontrastu k československé realitě 50. let. Autobiografická próza Josefa Jedličky je svědectvím člověka o současnosti zítřků, který svými břitkými pozorovacími schopnostmi odhaluje tragikomický svět stalinské éry. Jednotlivé epizody každodennosti i dějinných zvratů do sebe postupně zapadají a tvoří osobitou koláž, ve které se vzájemně prostupují časová pásma a roviny – vzájemně koexistují dobové záznamy (vystoupení Klementa Gottwalda na Staroměstském náměstí), ale také střípky ze života autora (přestěhování do Litvínova, život v koldomě ad.) nebo meditativní úvahy. Svědectví doby je podtrženo poetickým jazykem, který nepostrádá drsnou a aktuální věcnost – dosud platné spojitosti a vztahy se přeměňují, čímž se otevírá prostor volným asociacím i svébytné ironii. Jde tak o filozofickou reflexi prostoupenou literárními reminiscencemi a asociacemi, která navazuje na literární tradice předešlých desetiletí.

Midway, the most famous naval battle in American history, has been the subject of many excellent books. However, none satisfactorily explain why the Japanese lost that battle, given their overwhelming advantage in firepower. While no book may ever silence debate on the subject, "Midway Inquest" answers the central mystery of the battle. Why could the Japanese not get a bomber strike launched against the American carrier force before being attacked and destroyed by American dive bombers from the Enterprise and Yorktown? Although it is well known that the Japanese were unable to launch an immediate attack because their aircraft were in the process of changing armament, why wasn't the rearming operation reversed and an attack launched before the American planes arrived? Based on extensive research in Japanese primary records, Japanese literature on the battle, and interviews with over two dozen Japanese veterans from the carrier air groups, this book solves the mystery at last.

The Battle of Midway is considered the greatest U.S. naval victory, but behind the lustre is the devastation of the American torpedo squadrons. Of the 51 planes sent to attack Japanese carriers only 7 returned, and of the 127 aircrew only 29 survived. Not a single torpedo hit its target. A story of avoidable mistakes and flawed planning, "The Unknown Battle of Midway" reveals the enormous failures that led to the destruction of four torpedo squadrons but were omitted from official naval reports: the planes that ran out of gas, the torpedoes that didn't work, the pilots who had never dropped torpedoes, and the breakdown of the attack plan. Alvin Kernan, who was present at the battle, has written a troubling but persuasive analysis of these and other little-publicized aspects of this great battle. The standard navy tactics for carrier warfare are revealed in tragic contrast to the actual conduct of the battle and the after-action reports of the ships and squadrons involved.

Le tournant de la guerre dans le PacifiqueDepuis le 1er septembre 1939, la guerre fait rage. Elle s’est répandue comme le faisait la peste noire au Moyen-Âge, contaminant tous les êtres et toutes les terres. Une abjecte pandémie que rien ne semble pouvoir entraver. Même les États-Unis d’Amérique ont été avalés par la déferlante guerrière qui embrase le monde. Mal préparée et sous armée, la première puissance industrielle du monde est au bord du gouffre quand, en juin 1942, va se dérouler, au beau milieu du Pacifique, sur le minuscule atoll perdu de Midway, la plus extraordinaire bataille aéronavale de l’histoire.
