SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON MEDAL FOR MILITARY HISTORY
2022 'History at its scintillating best ... hard-hitting,
revelatory and superbly researched' Andrew Roberts, author of
Churchill: Walking with Destiny 'A rare achievement ... sure to
become an instant classic' John Lewis Gaddis, Yale University This
gripping book dramatizes the extraordinarily compressed and
terrifying period between the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor and Hitler's declaration of war on the United States. These
five days transformed much of the world and have shaped our own
experience ever since. Simms and Laderman's aim in the book is to
show how this agonizing period had no inevitability about it and
that innumerable outcomes were possible. Key leaders around the
world were taking decisions with often poor and confused
information, under overwhelming pressure and knowing that they
could be facing personal and national disaster. And yet, there were
also long-standing assumptions that shaped these decisions, both
consciously and unconsciously. Hitler's American Gamble is a superb
work of history, both as an explanation for the course taken by the
Second World War and as a study in statecraft and political
choices.
