The events of December 7, 1941—the day the Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on the Pearl Harbor military base, prompting the United States to declare war on Japan and to enter World War II—are provided in this account. The strike, the events that led up to it, and its consequences up to the present day are explored in detail. Collier Hillstrom’s extensive research is presented in three distinct sections: narrative overview; biographies, which includes background on principal figures from both the Japanese and American sides; and primary sources. Additionally, the volume includes a glossary of important people, places, and terms, as well as a chronology of events, a subject index, and an annotated list of sources for further study.
