| Summary |
Describes the events of December 7, 1941, before, during, and after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii as well as the reactions of the men who lived through the attack. The author traces in detail the human drama of the great attack: the spies behind it; the Japanese pilots; the crews on the stricken warships; the men at the airfields and on the bases; the generals, the sailors, the housewives, and the children who responded to the attack with anger, numbness, and courage. -- From back cover. |
