A military experiment in the year 2021\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ehas thrust an American-led multinational armada back to 1942, right into the middle of the U.S. naval task force speeding toward Midway Atoll--and what was to be the most spectacular U.S. triumph of the entire war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThousands died in the chaos, but the ripples had only begun. For these veterans of Pearl Harbor--led by Admirals Nimitz, Halsey, and Spruance--have never seen a helicopter, or a satellite link, or a nuclear weapon. And they've never encountered an African American colonel or a British naval commander who was a woman \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003ehalf-Pakistani. While they embrace the armada's awesome firepower, they may find the twenty-first century sailors themselves far from acceptable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInitial jubilation at news the Allies would win the war is quickly doused by the chilling realization that the time travelers themselves--by their very presence--have rendered history null and void. Celebration turns to dread when the possibility arises that other elements of the twenty-first century task force may have also made the trip--and might now be aiding Yamamoto and the Japanese. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat happens next is anybody's guess--and everybody's nightmare. . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Worlds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780345457134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.17w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Paperback Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Birmingham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52107748901045,"sku":"9780345457134","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e2887a6c-e7a8-4c21-a0a5-a23b859ad329.jpg?v=1765862129","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/weapons-of-choice-9780345457134","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
