This new history demonstrates that luck, let alone miracles, had little to do with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Silver Waterfall\u003c\/i\u003e, Brendan Simms and Steven McGregor show how the efforts of America's peacetime navy combined with creative innovations made by designers and industrialists were largely responsible for the victory. The Douglas Dauntless Dive Bomber, a uniquely conceived fighting weapon, delivered a brutally accurate attack the Japanese quickly came to dread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTold through a vivid narrative, Simms and McGregor show how the course of the war in the Pacific was dramatically altered, emphasizing the crucial combination of a culture of innovation, a brilliant contribution from immigrants, and a vital intelligence coup that allowed the navy to orchestrate the devastating attack on the Japanese and dominate the Pacific for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850385445100,"sku":"9781541701373","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25092293482736.jpg?v=1759086655"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/steven-mcgregor.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
