Turning The Tide: The Battles Of Coral Sea And Midway

Turning the Tide is a scholarly compilation of the Royal Navy’s official histories of two pivotal naval engagements in the Pacific Theater during World War II: the Battle of the Coral Sea (May 1942) and the Battle of Midway (June 1942). Originally drafted between 1946 and 1951, these documents were intended to provide lessons learned for the Royal Navy officer corps in the postwar era. This edition, published by the University of Plymouth Press in 2013, offers modern readers access to these previously classified analyses, enriched with expert commentary by military historians.
