Book excerpt: "Naval history enthusiasts and military historians who enjoy taking deeper dives into the backgrounds of well-known battles, particularly concerning tactics and leadership, will appreciate this read. The book is enriched with well-captioned photos, diagrams, and very detailed appendices, which makes it an excellent reference work." —HistoryNet Most books gloss over submarines at Midway and, if they are mentioned at all, conclude they failed miserably and had little impact on the outcome of the battle. It is undeniable that carrier aviation and intelligence saved the day, but the role of the submarine was an important one in defense of an anticipated amphibious assault. Midway Submerged is a comprehensive examination of a little-known aspect of this pivotal naval battle, explaining how Nimitz used his submarines at Midway, and the Japanese misused theirs based on a flawed tactical plan. Based on in-depth archival research not only into the battle itself, but also submarine design and construction, and tactical and operational doctrine for both the United States and Japan, it brings a whole new dimension to the discussion of the battle of Midway. It examines the intended role of the submarine in the plans and doctrine of both navies, and what the submarines were expected to accomplish for both fleets during the battle, before assessing the actual accomplishments, successes, and failures of the submarine forces on both sides. Of particular importance, the book offers an analysis of how well these vessels fulfilled the expectations placed on them by their respective naval planners, concluding that submarines played a more important role in the outcome than has been previously understood.

Download or read book Refighting the Pacific War written by James C Bresnahan and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refighting the Pacific War looks at how World War II in the Pacific might have unfolded differently, giving historians, authors and veterans the opportunity to discuss what happened and what might have happened. Contributors to this alternative history include noted military historians William Bartsch, John Burton, Donald Goldstein, John Lundstrom, Robert Mrazek, Jon Parshall, Douglas Smith, Peter Smith, Barrett Tillman, Anthony Tully, and H. P. Willmott. In all more than thirty Pacific War experts will provide commentary, employing a roundtable panel discussion format. The reader will hear from the experts on how history could and could not have been altered during the course of the war in the Pacific. With multiple opinions, the reader will be provided with an interesting collection of divergent views about the outcome of the war. Refighting the Pacific War focuses largely on naval battles and campaigns, including Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. While the main concentration is on the major naval actions, the book also delves into key island battles, like Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, as well as pre-war and post-war political issues The panelists debate questions like whether the Japanese could have inflicted even greater damage on the U. S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and how Yamamoto might have won at Midway and how such a victory might have impacted the direction of the war. The book extensively studies the opening year of the war when the Japanese war machine seemed unstoppable. Also explored is whether the Pacific War was inevitable and whether the conflict could have ended without the use of the atomic bomb.Vice Admiral Yoji Koda, Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (Ret.), provides the book's Introduction.

Download or read book Shattered Sword written by Jonathan Parshall and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many consider the Battle of Midway to have turned the tide of the Pacific War. It is without question one of the most famous battles in history. Now, for the first time since Gordon W. Prange s bestselling "Miracle at Midway," Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully offer a new interpretation of this great naval engagement. Unlike previous accounts, "Shattered Sword" makes extensive use of Japanese primary sources. It also corrects the many errors of Mitsuo Fuchida s "Midway: The Battle That Doomed Japan," an uncritical reliance upon which has tainted every previous Western account. It thus forces a major, potentially controversial reevaluation of the great battle. The authors examine the battle in detail and effortlessly place it within the context of the Imperial Navy s doctrine and technology. With a foreword by leading WWII naval historian John Lundstrom, "Shattered Sword" will become an indispensable part of any military buff s library. Winner of the 2005 John Lyman Book Award for the "Best Book in U.S. Naval History" and cited by "Proceedings" as one of its "Notable Naval Books" for 2005."

Download or read book One Hundred Years of Sea Power written by George W. Baer and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A navy is a state's main instrument of maritime force. What it should do, what doctrine it holds, what ships it deploys, and how it fights are determined by practical political and military choices in relation to national needs. Choices are made according to the state's goals, perceived threat, maritime opportunity, technological capabilities, practical experience, and, not the least, the way the sea service defines itself and its way of war. This book is a history of the modern U.S. Navy. It explains how the Navy, in the century after 1890, was formed and reformed in the interaction of purpose, experience, and doctrine.

Download or read book Imperial Japanese Navy Campaign Planning And Design Of The Aleutian-Midway Campaign written by Major Jonathan J. Gross and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1942, the Japanese found themselves in a favorable military situation. Previous successes had convinced Japanese naval planners that it was now possible to produce a strategic victory that could end the war through a negotiated peace. Employing the largest combined fleet of the war, the Aleutian-Midway campaign intended to satisfy that purpose. Merging the traditional battle fleet with battle proven aircraft carriers, the plan incorporated almost every major combat vessel in the Japanese Navy. Commitment of such a large force was intended to produce a high certainty for the successful accomplishment of three objectives: occupation of Midway Atoll, neutralization of the American threat from the Aleutians, and destruction of the American carrier task force. Thus, by securing the last remaining gaps in the Japanese defensive perimeter and destroying the only remaining surface threat to the Japanese homeland, the Japanese would, thereby, ensure a militarily favorable operating posture. Japanese victory in this operation conceivably would eliminate the American capability or desire to continue operations against Japan. With overwhelming combat power committed to this operation, success seemed certain. Since victory did not result from this operation, relative combat power was not the deciding factor in the battle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naval Warfare 1919–45 is a comprehensive history of the war at sea from the end of the Great War to the end of World War Two. Showing the bewildering nature and complexity of the war facing those charged with fighting it around the world, this book ranges far and wide: sweeping across all naval theatres and those powers performing major, as well as minor, roles within them. Armed with the latest material from an extensive set of sources, Malcolm H. Murfett has written an absorbing as well as a comprehensive reference work. He demonstrates that superior equipment and the best intelligence, ominous power and systematic planning, vast finance and suitable training are often simply not enough in themselves to guarantee the successful outcome of a particular encounter at sea. Sometimes the narrow difference between victory and defeat hinges on those infinite variables: the individual’s performance under acute pressure and sheer luck. Naval Warfare 1919–45 is an analytical and interpretive study which is an accessible and fascinating read both for students and for interested members of the general public.

Book excerpt: If the Holy Spirit is upon you, you will see visions or/and dream dreams - whether awake or sleeping. These visions, dreams, inspirations, boldness, empowerment, plans, purposes, and pursuits come from the Wisdom, Anointing, and Power of the Holy Spirit and the Workings of God. Visions bring power. Never allow your vision or dream to die if you want it to produce the required results. Visions and dreams can come in form of spiritual revelations and perceptions of things by seeing and hearing into the spiritual realm, by the Work of the Holy Spirit. They can also come as insights, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, ideas, plans, and perception, which are given people by the inward Inspiration of the Holy Spirit. You have to be sure that the vision, dream, plan, and idea that you have is not a human ambition or a satanic idea; because carnal, fleshly, satanic, and human ambitions are not Divine and God-given dreams, visions, and plans.

Download or read book REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS! written by GODSWORD GODSWILL ONU and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apostle Paul wrote: "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Phil. 4:4). Apostle Paul was greatly persecuted in the course of his ministry; and someone may not expect him to make such a statement. It is very important to God that His children rejoice always in Him. Think about it! The Lord, through Paul, stressed its importance by repeating it. The devil will want us to be stressed by different kinds of things, so that he can steal our joy away from us. Have you allowed the devil to steal your joy? How did you allow him to steal it? Is it through sin and indulgence? Is it through the pursuit of this world's cares? Is it through worries, doubt, depression, or sorrow? The remembrance that we have the host of Heaven on our side should keep us cheered up. God the Father is for us; Jesus Christ is with us; the Holy Spirit is in us and upon us; the Word of God is our defensive and offensive armour; and the angels of God minister for us. We should never allow anything to steal our joy from us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing about himself, Apostle Paul said, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified" (1 Cor. 9:27). He said, "I discipline my body." This is noteworthy! Somebody disciplining himself! And Jesus Christ says that the flesh is weak, while the spirit is willing. Have you ever asked yourself why you do some things which you do not want to do? It is because even though your spirit is willing and wants to please God, yet the flesh and body is weak. And we are speaking about mastering and defeating weak points. If you master a weak point and defeat it, with time it is supposed to cease from being a weak point in your life.

Book excerpt: Patience, Endurance, and Longsuffering explains that things will not always work out the way we want them to be and at the time we want them to happen.

Patience, perseverance, endurance, and longsuffering will get you establish in your walk with God. He who believes shall not be in haste; and if you always want it now, then you are not matured yet!
