Description
"On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Empire stunned the world with a surprise attack on the United States Navel Base at Pearl Harbor. The courage and glory, the infamy and scandal, make that day one of the most important moments in American history. Here is that electrifying story, told in words and photographs, many of the pictures rare, others published here for the very first time. The fascinating saga that is Pearl Harbor begins before the attack, in Europe, Japan and behind the scenes in show more the U.S. We meet a desperate Churchill, an inspired Yamamoto, a determined Roosevelt. Then the attack itself is memorably presented in all its unparalleled fury. Japan had hoped to cripple an enemy. In the end, it awakened a sleeping giant." show lessTags
