Franklin D. Roosevelt famously called December 7, 1941, "a date
which will live in infamy." History would prove him correct; the
events of that day--when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor--ended
the Great Depression, changed the course of FDR's presidency, and
swept America into World War II. In "Pearl Harbor," acclaimed
historian Steven M. Gillon provides a vivid, minute-by-minute
account of Roosevelt's skillful leadership in the wake of the most
devastating military assault in American history. FDR proved both
decisive and deceptive, inspiring the nation while keeping the real
facts of the attack a secret from congressional leaders and the
public.
"Pearl Harbor" explores the anxious and emotional events
surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor, showing how the president
and the American public responded in the pivotal twenty-four hours
that followed, a period in which America burst from precarious
peace into total war.
