  The attack on Pearl Harbor is one of the most perplexing cases in living memory of a weaker power seeming to believe that it could vanquish a clearly superior force. On closer inspection, however, Jeffrey Record finds that Japan did not believe it could win, but that they were driven by an insatiable appetite for national glory and economic security via the conquest of East Asia.
