Description
This bookazine tells the complete story of the Japanese surprise attack on the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 – the event President Franklin D. Roosevelt immortalised as the “Day of Infamy”. Combining strategic context, operational analysis, first-hand accounts and striking photography, it examines the political tensions that led to the attack, reconstructs the dramatic events of the day itself, and explores the profound military and geopolitical consequences that drew the United States into World War Two. The result is a compelling and authoritative account of one of the defining moments of the twentieth century.
