The Battle of Midway in June 1942 was the turning point of the war in the Pacific. Most Americans had no idea how close the Japanese came to a victory which could have changed the outcome of the Second World War. This book provides an account of the plans the Japanese had for Hawaii, the West Coast and even the Panama Canal. It examines and weighs up the tough decisions President Roosevelt had to make to protect the Americans living on the West Coast of the United States, and even the landing of June 6, 1944. Any delay of the invasion of France may have given the Germans the time necessary to make progress in the development of weapons of mass destruction.
