  • Pearl Harbor : Japan's attack and America's entry into World War II
    Melber, Takuma
    "Hawaii, December 7, 1941, shortly before 8 a.m.: Japanese torpedo bombers launch a surprise attack on the US Pacific fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor. The devastating attack claims the lives of over ... 2,400 American soldiers, sinks or damages eighteen ships, and destroys nearly 350 aircraft. The US Congress declares war on Japan the following day. In this vivid and lively book, Takuma Melber breathes new life into the dramatic events that unfolded before, during, and after Pearl Harbor by putting the perspective of the Japanese attackers at the center. Most other histories of Pearl Harbor are told from the American point of view, so by giving attention to the Japanese perspective as well, Melber is able to provide a richer, more comprehensive and more balanced account of the battle, its conditions, and its consequences. He sheds new light on the long negotiations that went on between the Japanese and Americans in 1941, and shows how US intelligence and military leaders in Washington misinterpreted the information they had about Japanese war intentions. Melber's description of the battle itself is informed by the latest research and benefits from including the plannng and post-raid assessment made by the Japanese commanders. This balanced and thorougly researched book deepens our understanding of the battle that precipitated America's entry into the war and will appeal to anyone interested in World War II and military history." --> ov.
