Countdown to Pearl Harbor

In "Countdown to Pearl Harbor," Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Twomey provides a gripping and detailed account of the events leading up to the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor. Set in late November 1941, the narrative uncovers the critical miscommunications and misguided assumptions among U.S. military leaders, including vague warnings from admirals and a lack of awareness about Japanese naval movements. Through a blend of remarkable characters and insightful analysis, Twomey explores the complexities of decision-making that contributed to this monumental failure, offering a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in American history.
