Description

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was one of those rare moments where, in the space of a few hours, the course of history was utterly changed. Nearly eight decades later, it remains an event that is both well-known and poorly understood. On December 7, 1941, more than 350 aircraft from the Imperial Japanese Navy descended upon the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, killing 2,403 American servicemen and civilians, and wounding another 1,178. This devastating attack was not a sudden surprise, but rather the culmination of years of diplomatic tensions and military build-up between the US and Japan. Pearl: December 7, 1941 is a detailed account of the events leading up to the attack, and the reasons behind it. It sheds light on the complex web of alliances, rivalries, and misunderstandings that ultimately led to this pivotal moment in history.
