Pearl Harbor 1941: The Day of Infamy

by Carl Smith

Illustrated by Jim Laurier and Adam Hook

Accounts of history's greatest conflicts, detailing the command strategies, tactics and battle experiences of the opposing forces throughout the crucial stages of each campaign.

December 7, 1941 was one of the single most decisive days of World War II - the day that brought the USA into the fight. Six Japanese aircraft carriers disgorged their full complements in two waves on the superior US Pacific Fleet as it lay slumbering in Pearl Harbor. Depending on opposing viewpoints, the attack was either a brilliant maneuver of audacious strategy, or a piece of unparalleled villainy and deception by a supposedly friendly power. This revised edition, containing the latest research, reveals previously unknown aspects of the attack and dispels myths that have been built up around the fateful day - a day, Franklin D. Roosevelt declared, that would "live in infamy."

Soft cover. 96 pages.
