Midway Submerged

"...a clearly written, well-organized, and complementary study for both teachers and students of the Pacific War." ~Journal of Military History

"...provides insights for anyone interested in potential future naval conflicts in the Western Pacific or the South China Sea region." ~Military Review

"...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 while battling" ~ARGunners.com

"Allen does a very good job of examining the submarine portions of the US and Japanese operational plans...an excellent revisionist assessment of submarine employment at the Battle of Midway." ~National Maritime Historical Society

"...the book provides a good look at the operations of the individual submarines deployed by both sides at Midway. It does an excellent job of filling in gaps in the existing naval histories of the Battle of Midway." ~PowerShips

"The author uses patrol reports and new research to expand the detailed knowledge available to historians on the actions of the submarines and their leadership." ~Seapower

"...a fascinating study of a lesser-known part of the engagement that was the turning point in the Pacific War." ~WWII History Magazine

"Mark W. Allen’s research and ability as a historian to question not only himself but decades of incorrectly agreed upon “fact” makes Midway Submerged a challenging and thought-provoking read. His in-depth, critical exploration of primary source documents and seemingly bulletproof analysis of submarine operations at the Battle of Midway should give any individual who studied the Pacific War pause. Though bold and perhaps provocative in its argument, Midway Submerged: American and Japanese Submarine Operations at the Battle of Midway, May – June 1942, accomplishes what any historian should want from their work: an accurate and challenging perspective that dares to be contended with." ~The Saber and Scroll Journal

"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
