Six months later, in a sea fight north of the tiny atoll of Midway, four Japanese aircraft carriers were sent into the abyss. \u003cem\u003ePacific Crucible\u003c\/em\u003e tells the epic tale of these first searing months of the Pacific war, when the U.S. Navy shook off the worst defeat in American military history and seized the strategic initiative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ian W. Toll's dramatic narrative encompasses both the high command and the sailor's-eye view from the lower deck. Relying predominantly on eyewitness accounts and primary sources, \u003cem\u003ePacific Crucible\u003c\/em\u003e also spotlights recent scholarship that has revised our understanding of the conflict, including the Japanese decision to provoke a war that few in the country's highest circles thought they could win.
