What happens when a friendless physics professor in his
mid-thirties, still a virgin, travels back to December 1941 in a
time machine he has invented. His goal is to become a national hero
by destroying the Japanese fleet which bombed Pearl harbor. Against
all odds, he is succeeds. Instead of being hailed as a hero, he is
arrested and sentenced to death by a U.S. Navy Court Martial for
mistakenly attacking the Japanese vessels before they launched
their attack. The time machine mysteriously vanishes and his claims
to have invented it are ridiculed. The professor's escape from this
fate is one of the most unusual and most humerous ever encountered
in fiction. The book is written in a light style intended to leave
the reader in as cheerful a state as possible when completing it.
At the same time, it is carefully researched and adheres closely to
actual historical events. The author has a Ph.M. degree in East
European History from Columbia University and served as a Foreign
Service Officer of the State Department and as a Senior Research
Fellow at the National Defense University. His seven previously
published books are non-fiction works on international affairs and
history.
