Product Description
On Sunday December 7th, 1941, 353 Japanese planes attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The “Day of Infamy,” which left 2,389 Americans dead, began a savage war that ended with Japan’s surrender at Tokyo Bay in 1945. Featuring hundreds of maps, photos and diagrams, Illustrated Pearl Harbor Attack recreates the surprise attack in vivid pictures, showing each phase of the assault.
The book follows the action at the harbor, the air bases, the Naval Hospital, and Honolulu. From the early stages of Japanese planning through the destruction of Battleship Row to the remarkable salvage of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the Illustrated Pearl Harbor Attack gives a front-row seat to the attack that brought the United States into World War II.
