Synopsis

After their New York Times bestselling series on the American Civil War, Speaker Newt Gingrich and historian William R. Forstchen now turn to the events leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and examine how different decisions might have profoundly changed the history that was yet to unfold. Pearl Harbor departs from conventional WWII novels - it focuses on the Japanese perceptions and decision making that led them to seek a conflict with America, and offers an unprecedented look into their war strategy. With Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, and two of his officers who planned and led the attack on Pearl Harbor, the authors yet again take history down an alternate path of speculation as they did with the New York Times bestselling Civil War series by asking the question of what might have happened if Yamamoto directly led the attack, rather than the far more timid Admiral Nagumo, who ordered retreat after the first two strikes on that Day of Infamy.
