The Silver Waterfall

De: Kevin Miller

Narrado por: Francis G. Kearney

In the desolate middle of the largest ocean on earth, two great navies approached, one bent on conclusive battle, the other lying in ambush.

Six months after Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto again crossed the Pacific with the largest and most powerful naval armada the world had ever seen, this time to finish the job. Nimitz waited for him with what he had, placed exactly where he needed it.

Both admirals depended on their fliers, some veterans of battle, others raw and unproven. Striking first meant decisive victory.

This is the story of the men who fought the Battle of Midway over three momentous days in June, 1942. Men uncertain, determined, fearful and courageous. Men under crushing pressure, desperate and hopeful. Their story is one of daring, of unfathomable loss, of survival inside rickety airplanes and burning ships. What happened off Midway is a story of reckless pride, and cold realization.

Kevin Miller's The Silver Waterfall is an unforgettable human story - a factual historic fiction account told by today's master of carrier aviation fiction honoring those who fought in one of the most pivotal naval battles in world history.

Personalized view of Midway

Like novels by Jeff Shaara this story weaves actual characters who participated in the Battle of Midway with some fictional characters and likely dialogue of pilots of that era. The author is eminently qualified to bring this well researched story to life.

Riveting

I really enjoyed this book very detailed and it kept me wanting more and more .

Excellent!

Great historical fiction and very well narrated. Will listen to this one again. Word, word.

You know it’s amazing when others use your title 3 years later…and for the same battle.

All of the authors books are amazing…exciting, descriptive and really easy to follow- it feels like you’re there. I felt like I could see Waldron standing on his wing, riding it all the way in.
It’s why they were the greatest generation and the author did them proud.
It’s also worth sharing that getting both sides perspective positively and in defeat…it really just makes the read all that much better.

Great Book

The book was well written very interesting and almost made you think you were there.
