It caused massive devastation, caught the United States unaware and plunged them into the Second World War, turning it into a truly global conflict. This gripping study scrupulously reconstructs the attack, from its meticulously planned conception, to its lightning execution and the bitter political controversy that followed.

"A very thorough telling of the steps Japan took to launch the Pearl Harbor attack. I well-told history, but often repetitive. It was difficult to keep straight all the characters. Still, a good read and very informative, particularly if you don't have much knowledge of the Pacific theater during WWII."
"This book had always been in my sight growing up ... My granddad was in the world war 2... one day as a college student visiting my grandfolks, I decided I wanted to read it. If you're into 'politics', this is it. It can be dry at times but it opened my eyes. :)"
