Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto sought to finish off what was left of the American

Navy. Circumstances would be different this time however as American

codebreakers learned of the oncoming attack in advance. At the Battle of Midway

the US Navy turned the tables on the Japanese and scored their biggest victory

of World War II’s Pacific Theater. Although the war was still far from over,

many historians speculate that Midway was an early turning point in the

conflict that would pay dividends in the years to come. On this episode we

discuss the Battle of Midway.
