by Walter Lord

In brillant detail Walter Lord traces the human drama of the great attack; the spies behind it; the Japanese pilots; the crews on the stricken warships; the men at the airfields and bases; the Japanese pilots who captured an island single-handedly when he could not get back to his carrier; the generals, the sailors, the housewives, and the children who responded to the attack with anger, numbness, and magnificent courage. Hardcover. 243 pages, 49 black and white photos.
