  • "It took the Japanese fleet twenty two days to sail from Japan to Pearl Harbour in 1941, the same twenty two days that witnessed the German assault on Moscow and the Crusader battles in North Africa. The Germans failed to knock the Soviets out; the Japanese succeeded in bringing the Americans in. These twenty two days sealed their mutual fate. With each chapter structured around one of the twenty two days leading up to Pearl Harbour, this book narrates the battles, the preparations for battle, the diplomatic manoeuvres and the intelligence wars. The story shifts from snowbound Russian villages to the stormy northern Pacific, from the North African desert to Europe's warring capitals, and from Tokyo to Washington. The book features a host of ordinary soldiers, sailors and airmen, and those political and military figures who played a key role in the war."
