December 7, 1941 the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor

A minute-by-minute account of the morning that changed America forever When dawn broke over Hawaii on December 7, 1941, no one suspected that America was only minutes from war. By nightfall, the naval base at Pearl Harbor was a smoldering ruin, and over 2,000 Americans lay dead. December 7, 1941 gives a captivating and immersive real-time account of that fateful morning. In or out of uniform, every witness responded differently when the first Japanese bombs began to fall. A chaplain fled his post and spent a week in hiding, while mess hall workers seized a machine gun and began returning fire. Some officers were taken unawares, while others responded valiantly, rallying their men to fight back and in some cases sacrificing their lives. Built around eyewitness accounts, this book provides an unprecedented glimpse of how it felt to be at Pearl Harbor on the day that would live in infamy.

  • "From the Dust Jacket: December 7, 1941 is the culmination of Gordon Prange's monumental Pearl Harbor trilogy, which has been hailed as a classic work of military history and the definitive study of the day that brought the United States into World War II. December 7, 1941 is a moment, richly detailed chronological account of "the day that will live in infamy" that combines an analysis of the major events and an oral history from the military and civilians who were there. Based on Prange's lifelong, impeccable research as well as on hundreds of interviews with firsthand witnesses, December 7, 1941 is filled with drama, action, and pathos. The events of December seventh are related with the dramatic readability of a novel. Prange served in Japan under General MacArthur after World War II, and the book is enriched with hundreds of extraordinary reminiscences of officers, both Japanese and American, whom Prange interviewed in depth immediately after the war, while their memories of Pearl Harbor were still razor-sharp. December 7, 1941 has the human dimension only oral history can provide. With his major work-the long-awaited final volume of the definitive bestselling trilogy on the attack that catapulted the United States into WWII-Prange, Goldstein, and Dillon have provided us with the ultimate Pearl Harbor story."
