Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days to the Attack

This gripping account of the days leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor offers a fresh perspective on one of America's most infamous moments in history. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Twomey weaves together a narrative of suspense and intrigue, revealing how careless decisions and misunderstandings led to catastrophic consequences.

Through remarkable characters and meticulous research, Twomey sheds light on the complex web of assumptions, biases, and egos that contributed to the tragic events of December 1941. With elegant prose and a taut focus, this book is a compelling exploration of human error and the importance of vigilance.
