Overall it is an interesting read. However, there was a section through the middle of the book that was basically useless drivel. Unnecessary details about various plot lines that are never followed up on and don't add anything to the real story in my opinion. The author goes to extreme lengths to display the characters from the 1940's as shallow bigots and the characters from the future as paragons of multiculturalism. Which is fine to a point but quickly gets tiresome as this theme gets hammered on over and over again. My final analysis is that it is a fairly well written and interesting story that could have been pared down a bit.
Liked this book enough to order the two remaining books in the trilogy. Definitely a good military genre read.
these sort of books tend not to be literary masterpieces, but i enjoy reading them

In the year 2021, a military experiment thrusts an American-led multinational armada back to 1942, right into the middle of the U.S. naval task force speeding toward Midway Atoll. Shock is followed by jubilation at the time travelers' awesome new firepower---this astonishing event will alter the course of World War II and forever change the rules of combat. But have other ships made the trip and fallen into the hands of the Japanese? What happens next is anybody's guess---and everybody's nightmare.
