The attack on Pearl Harbor viewed through the eyes of several characters. Author weaves true life events into a story which draws in the reader. While the work is fiction by definition; it's still a very good read and likely very similar to history...but not exact. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed it. Another fun Jeff Shaara book, without recapping the whole book and what you can get from a plot summary it's fun, it's good, I think I prefer his other novels more. This one just... didn't flow as much, I think maybe because it was focused on a single event? It's clear from how the book ended the next book will be about the Battle of Midway, which I will look forward to. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt watches uneasily as the world heads rapidly down a dangerous path. The Japanese have waged an aggressive campaign against China, and they now begin to expand their ambitions to other parts of Asia. As their expansion efforts grow bolder, their enemies know that Japan's ultimate goal is total conquest over the region, especially when the Japanese align themselves with Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy, who wage their own war of conquest across Europe. Meanwhile, the British stand nearly alone against Hitler, and there is pressure in Washington to transfer America's powerful fleet of warships from Hawaii to the Atlantic to join the fight against German U-boats that are devastating shipping. But despite deep concerns about weakening the Pacific fleet, no one believes that the main base at Pearl Harbor is under any real threat. Told through the eyes of widely diverse characters, this story looks at all sides of the drama and puts the reader squarely in the middle."--Publisher desription.
