The action packed, informative true story of Pearl Harbor as told through the eyes of a diverse group of people who experienced the terror of the unprecedented attack firsthand.
The true story of Pearl Harbor as you've never read it before-action-packed, informative, and told through the eyes of those on all sides of the violence who experienced the terror of the unprecedented attack firsthand.
A single day changed the course of history: December 7, 1941. Nobody in America knew Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was coming. Nobody was prepared for the aftermath.
Filled with firsthand accounts and photographs, this unflinching, action-packed narrative puts readers on the ground in Pearl Harbor through the real stories of a diverse cast of characters. From the attackers to the attacked, daring rescues to tragic losses, unlikely survival to quick-thinking responses, learn the stories of the men, women, and children who experienced that fateful day and its aftereffects.
Perfect for fans of Steven Sheinkin and Deobrah Heiligman, award-winning author Marc Favreau sheds new, compelling light onto a history we think we know, what it means to be American, and the enduring lessons from an event we never saw coming.
* "A jaw-dropping account of Pearl Harbor ... artfully conceived and grippingly told."―Publishers Weekly, starred review
