Fuchida Mitsuo và Masatake Okumiya. Midway: The Battle that Doomed Japan, the Japanese Navy's Story. Annapolis, MD: Nhà in Viện Hải quân Hoa Kỳ, 1955. ISBN 0-87021-372-5. One of the earliest accounts of the battle from the Japanese side, used as a source by many Western histories. More recent historical research has shown, however, that Fuchida's account of the battle and of the tactical errors committed by the Japanese is colored by hindsight and is sometimes inaccurate and self-serving.

Parshall, Jonathan, and Anthony Tully. Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway. Dulles, VA: Potomac Books, 2005. ISBN 1-57488-923-0. Working primarily from the Japanese point of view, incorporating recent historical discoveries which have not previously appeared outside Japan, and relying more heavily on documentation (fleet action records and the like) than on individual accounts, this book challenges some of the assumptions prevalent in most Western histories of the battle.
