for the rest of us was a store of brilliant writing
as eloquent as anything ever written about war.

The Battle of Midway has been called the most important naval battle ever fought between two great powers. The Japanese Empire and the United States of America. The Japanese Empire was at the pinnacle of its glory.
The complete story of this pivotal battle has been chronicled by many distinguished historians. This book is about one young American flyer who fought and died there.
William Robinson Evans, Jr.
The Youngest pilot in Torpedo Squadron Eight, he was one of a group of young Americans from every part of the country. Through a combination of courage, sacrifice, luck, and timing, it was the fate of these men to help change the course of battle. Acclaimed author and historian Herman Wouk called what they did “the soul of America in action… the extra ounce of martial weight that in a few decisive minutes tipped the balance of history.”
This is his story.
